Drunk Driver's Vehicle Lands Between Two Homes

An odd car accident occurred in the 1400 block of West 17th Street in San Pedro last, awakening residents at 1:05 in the morning. The Black Fusion, reportedly driven by a drunk driver, went airborne and became wedged between two homes, eight feet off the ground. Significant damages were sustained by one of the homes; luckily, nobody was present at the time as it had just sold a few days ago.

Residents of the second home woke up after hearing the crash. Luckily, nobody in that home was hurt. The front of the car wound up in the kitchen of one home while the rear became lodged in the living room of the other. Rescue crews and officers using two heavy-duty tow trucks worked for over four hours to remove the vehicle.

Police were not able to determine the speed at which the driver was traveling at the time. There was a passenger in the car that fled the scene while obtaining medical treatment; however, the passenger returned later on. Police did not arrest him.

Reports show that both the passenger and driver were under the age of 21.
