A nearby person quickly moved away as a vehicle drove through front yards.

A neighbour had to leap out of the way of a ute to save himself after it careened through the front yard of the house he was working on in Sydney's north-west.

Aerial footage shows a path of devastation stretching from the road to where the ute stopped at the front of the house.
