A man has been arrested after being found asleep in a Texas family’s home after police say he caused a deadly crash in their front yard, which left a female dead. 

Harris County Sheriff’s Office say Daniel Alexander Rodriguez-Olivares was drunk while speeding when he crashed into the family’s front yard on Thursday morning in Houston. 

Police say Rodriguez-Olivares was driving his 2016 BMW at speed when he collided into a culvert where the road split. 

The culvert forced the car into the air, sending it flying into the front yard of homeowner Carlos Suarec’s property. 

Dramatic surveillance footage captured the moment the car went airborne, flipping three times in the air before coming to a stop.

The BMW smashed through a wooden barricade before crossing a bayou and then through a second wooden barricade. 

After crashing the vehicle, Rodriguez-Olivares is alleged to have then got out of his vehicle and broke into Suarec’s home. 

Suarec told Fox 26: ‘I know someone try to break into my window. I never know the car was here.’ 

Suarec told the outlet that his family called officials and fled the house, with one family member telling police the man was lying unconscious inside the home.  

‘I go inside, and the police come, and they say stay there. Maybe five, six police go in and try to find him in the house’, Suarec added.

Officers arrived on the scene and found Rodriguez-Olivares inside one of the bedrooms of the property, and a woman dead inside the BMW. 

One of Suarec’s employees also told the outlet that they believed Rodriguez-Olivares to have been traveling at over 120 mph. 

Sergeant Bondurant of the Harris County Sheriff’s Office said: ‘There’s no reason at all to drive while intoxicated.

‘2023 almost 2024, we have Uber, we have Lyft’s. Heck, call 911, and we’ll come get you.’

The car was forced into the air and landed in the front yard of homeowner Carlos Suarec's property, who is seen here

The driver is expected to be charged with intoxication manslaughter according to officers and was taken to hospital in a critical condition. 

Detectives said he showed signs of being intoxicated, and that manslaughter charged were accepted against him.  

The passenger, who has been described as a young woman in her 20s, was pronounced dead at the scene.  

Edgar Fuentes, a neighbor living near the property, told Fox 26: ‘He jumped through the ditch on the other side, all the way down there.

‘We thought he was going to land right there in the middle of the ditch or something, but he didn’t. He crossed over and landed on the other side. That was really bad.’
