The driver lost control of the van on Shawsheen Avenue around 10:45 p.m., ran right through a fence and hit two parked cars before coming to a stop in a yard.

The family who lives in the house where the minivan ended up were startled awake by a big bang and a chaotic scene outside their home.

The new fence the homeowner just put up is now torn apart.

Two of his cars were likely totaled and towed away.
