A home security camera has captured a runaway saw blade shooting through a northern Ohio yard leaving a huge gap into the side of a house.

CCTV shows a large blade spinning off a saw being used to cut through a street.

The blade then rolls through a front yard and leaves a 3-foot gash in the side of an empty house in Lorain, a town about 25 miles west of Cleveland.

Rachel Gayhart says she and her husband checked their video Monday to see why the street work wasn't finished.

She says the blade missed a gas meter on the side of the neighboring house by two feet.

The video shows a construction worker retrieving the runaway blade and putting it back on the saw like nothing happened.

Lorain officials say the firm doing the work under contract for the city is investigating.
