Drunk Driver PIP

Got a call from my mom around 3am this morning. at about 2am a drunk driver drove through the house. 

There driveway is at stop sign were you either turn left or right, if you go straight you end up in the driveway. 

Well the women never stopped and drove right through the garage, hitting my dads car, and sending it through the wall into the laundry room. 

The house was wide open and all power had to be shut off due to that lines could have been hit and they didn't want an explosion. 

The women tried to drive away she made it two house down hit two mailboxes on her way. Both her air bags had gone off and her passenger was injured badly. She is currently in jail.

Thank god everyone is fine but it reminds you not to drink and drive because someone could have been hurt so bad. 

Now my parents have to wait to see if the house is even structurally sound or if walls need to come down and be put back up. 

There is so much damage. I added some photos for your enjoyment. :)

    THAT is scary! I'm so glad everyone is ok. With all that damage to the house and contents, I'm amazed her car was driveable.

    This happened to my elderly grandparents when I was little. Not sure the driver was drunk, but someone drove into their porch, and I recall the driver passed away.

    Glad everyone is ok.............hopefully they get good news about the house and the repairs go well. Keep us posted.
  • That is awful!  I am so glad your parents weren't hurt and their bedroom wasn't on the other side fo that garage wall!  Defintely keep us posted.  I sure hope drunk woman stays in jail and is rightly prosecuted.

  • Oh man, glad everyone is OK! We had a drunk driver do some damage in my building's parking garage a few weeks ago. Totaled 8 cars in the garage, including a friend of mine. She tried to drive away as well, but got as far as the next level in the garage and passed out. Cops found her and arrested her. So sad.

  • I'm SO GLAD she was found and arrested! I'm sooo sorry about their house though, and thank God they're okay. Keep us posted on how the repairs go!

    It is situations like these that I think insurance shouldn't pay for the damages but the person who did it!

  • Irresponsible people like that should be punished to the full extent of the law. Unbelievable! Glad your parents are okay, I hope the insurance takes care of everything for them quickly!
