A two-car garage sustained serious damage after it was slammed by an out-of-control vehicle around 7pm Wednesday.

The vehicle took out the centre bricks dividing the garage on Kayak Crescent near Markham and Finch.

The 19-year-old behind the wheel ended up a little red-faced but not seriously hurt.

Residents in the home are being instructed not to sleep in the bedroom above the garage until an expert takes a look at the structural integrity.

Charges are expected to be laid against the teen driver.
