Two men have been rescued after their car hit a dirt mound and became lodged in the roof of a Sydney home in which a couple and baby were sleeping.
The vehicle became airborne after striking a concrete median strip while travelling north along Sunnyholt Road in Parklea about 2:00am (AEDT) on Sunday, police said.
"The car continued on and knocked over a set of traffic control lights and a light pole before hitting a dirt mound," a police statement said.
"The vehicle then became airborne and landed on the roof of a home in Guernsey Way."
Two men - aged 24 and 21 - were trapped in the vehicle for a short time before being rescued by emergency workers.
They were taken to Westmead Hospital in a stable condition, police said.
Two adults and a three-month-old baby were asleep in the home at the time but were not injured.
"The vehicle was extracted from the roof using a crane and seized for forensic examination," police said.
Anyone with information about the incident or who saw the Holden Commodore travelling on Sunnyholt Road around the time of the incident is urged to contact Quakers Hill Police on 9678 8999 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 1800 333 000.
