No one was injured after a woman who was driving without a license crashed her car into a home in Auburn and then fled the scene.

Surveillance video shows the vehicle crashing into the home at 49 Jefferson Street around 8:15 p.m. Thursday.

Police say the driver, 29-year-old Jordina Nissi of Auburn, left the scene of the crash and was later tracked down on Fairview Avenue.

Nissi was charged with aggravated criminal mischief, leaving the scene of a property damage accident, operating without a license, and driving to endanger.

She was evaluated at Central Maine Medical Center before being brought to Androscoggin County Jail.

Her bail was set at $250 cash, with the condition that she gets a license before driving again.

The fire department inspected the home and deemed it safe.
