The cause of the crash is still under investigation, but investigators said the level of damage suggests she was driving at a high speed.
"I saw a lot of blood coming out her mouth, her eyes were closed," said a neighbor who found the driver moments after the crash. "I started yelling 'wake up, wake up,' I asked her her name, she gave me her name, and I kept her with me until the ambulance pretty much got there."
According to neighbors, the woman hit at least one other car along Southwest 23rd Court before crashing into the house.
Fort Lauderdale city building inspectors were on the scene to assess the level of damage and to see if the house is inhabitable at this point.
