The accident occurred in the 16000 block of Rolando Avenue, near Miramar Avenue and not far Eden Medical Center in Castro Valley.
Leal said the four-door vehicle knocked down a carport support beam and a utility weatherhead that encased power lines from a utility pole to the residence at the scene of the accident.
A Livermore woman died at a local hospital hours after being hit by a gravel truck while trying to ride across an intersection on her bicycle on Stanley Boulevard last week.
