She ran out to investigate the "deafening bang" to find two men and a car in her front yard.

"It could have come through my window, I watched it all unfold," she told 9News.

"I got frightened, I didn't know if they were going to come into the house."

Her garden fence was destroyed in the collision.

"It's disgusting... really disgusting... people like us can't sleep at night because of it," she said.

The L-plater blew a blood alcohol reading of 0.133, police allege.
