Car crashes into house in San Pedro
SAN PEDRO (CNS) - An allegedly impaired driver lost control of his
vehicle in San Pedro today, wedging it between two homes several feet off the
ground.
The spectacular accident in the 1400 block of West 17th Street occurred
about 1:15 a.m., and police and firefighters early today were trying to figure
out to move the car without further damaging the homes.
A videographer at the scene said the front and rear of the car were
wedged between the houses, and the car was about five feet off the ground,
which meant the car somehow spun about 45 degrees after it left the ground.
Los Angeles police said they arrested the driver for driving under the
influence, and the passenger ran away, but the suspect driver's name was
unavailable. Police with the South Traffic Division were handling the
investigation.
