A driver is expected to face charges after a car crashed into a house in south Sacramento.

The crash early Sunday came after the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office said it conducted a short pursuit of a white Toyota Camry that ended with it hitting the house in the 8200 block of Spengler Drive.

The driver likely will be charged with felony pursuit, according to the Sheriff’s Office. Deputies said they initially pursued the vehicle due to its speed and erratic driving.
