A quiet night in a Hialeah neighborhood ended in tragedy after a man died when his car crashed into a home Saturday.

Hialeah Police officials said the driver of a car carrying a man, woman and child lost control of the vehicle in the neighborhood near 5th Avenue and West 44th Place.

The car hit a tree before slamming into three other cars and a boat and ending up inside of a home.

The man in the vehicle needed to have his leg amputated in order to get out of the car, according to police. He went into cardiac arrest and was pronounced dead before arriving to the hospital.

The woman and child that police say were in the car were driven to the hospital, according to fire rescue. Both sustained trauma-level injuries but were awake and alert when leaving the scene.
