A teenage boy has been rushed to hospital after a car drove into a home in Brisbane's north while a tenant was inside.

Emergency services were called to Trouts Road in Stafford Heights at about 11.10am on Saturday after reports of a crash.

Photos from the scene show a car lodged in the wall of a two-storey home with its wheels suspended off the ground. Images shared on a community noticeboard also appeared to show a second vehicle was damaged in the incident.

The driver was taken to the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital in a stable condition with minor injuries.

A teenage boy suffered a neck injury from the collision and was taken to Prince Charles Hospital in a stable condition.

Homeowner Maria Mikhaylak told The Courier-Mail the scene was like something 'out of a movie' and that a tenant had been in his bedroom above the garage when the incident occurred.

'I was at a hairdresser's appointment when I got a missed call from the tenant,' she said.

'When I heard the news, I was thinking, "Is everyone okay? Are they still alive?"'
