FREMONT, Calif. - The driver of a BMW sedan crashed into a tree in a Fremont neighborhood, which then hit a house, causing "catastrophic" damage, firefighters said.
The driver and passenger were both killed, firefighters said.
The Alameda County Coroner identified one of the people in the car as Amit Singh, 33.
KTVU was unable to immediately reach his family or learn whether he was the driver or the passenger.
The crash occurred on Castro Lane at Mission Boulevard about 10:25 p.m. Wednesday, according to Sgt. Kim Macdonald.
The damage was extensive; the car was totaled after it split in two, and it took out part of the garage door and siding.
The car was loaded onto two different tow trucks early Thursday morning.
Police said they made contact with people inside the house, and no one was hurt.
KTVU also spoke to the homeowners - a husband and wife – who did not want to speak publicly.
A next door neighbor who did not want to be identified said police told her the driver was likely driving well above the speed limit.
"My kids walk to school, so I do see cars speeding all the time where the middle school is," she said. "It's super concerning to me, because they speed. All the neighborhood kids walk to school."
Police have not released any more details.
