A woman has been left homeless after a car slammed into her Sydney home while she was sleeping.

The car hit Excellcia Starr's home in Seven Hills in the early hours of the morning. 

The blue Skoda sedan was driving along Lucas Road when it veered off the road, went through the front yard of Starr's home, into the brick wall and into the bathroom.

Starr told 9News she was sleeping at the time.

"I heard this bang and I was sleeping, I'm thinking what the hell is this?" Starr said.

Inside the car were three men who initially fled the scene.

"I said 'are you feeling alright?' He said 'yes, yes'. Then he's come out and run away," a witness told 9News.

Police and the dog squad hunted for them into the early hours of the morning before two of them, the driver and a passenger, returned. 

The driver and one of the passengers were taken to hospital with back and neck injuries.

The driver has also undergone mandatory testing and both are expected to be charged once they have recovered. 

The third man is still at large.

"They hit the house and ran and that's the most disgusting part about it," Starr said.

This isn't the first time her home has been hit by a car. Starr says she had an almost identical incident 15 years ago.

"There's nobody in the middle of the night that can come and help," she said.

"I've been here for about five hours now since 1 in the morning.

"There's no toilet I can access, I'm in a wheelchair."

Starr is now calling for greater safety measures along this road to avoid this from happening again.
