An entire house has fallen from a hill onto a residential street after a deafening landslide rocked Melbourne’s Mornington Peninsula.
First responders, including police and firefighters, rushed to the scene of the crash on Penny Lane in McCrae after an emergency alert was issued at 8.49am on Tuesday.
One person was taken to hospital in a stable condition after being treated for minor injuries by paramedics at the scene.

A CFA spokeswoman told Daily Mail Australia five units are on scene to assist first responders.
An SES spokesperson told Daily Mail that crews from the Sorrento unit had been dispatched to the scene and were working to clear the area.
Several buildings in the immediate vicinity of the house have been evacuated.
