A car crashed through a concrete wall and tree before slamming into a Corona guest house where a grandmother and children were sleeping, causing the house to catch fire early Monday, the Corona Fire Department said.

The call came in around 2 a.m. reporting the crash on Gilbert Avenue.

The grandmother only suffered minor burns to her arms and hands, while the children were not hurt. They were pulled through a window to safety.

The driver and passenger were taken to a hospital with minor injuries.
