Car crashes into La Puente house, DUI suspected
LA PUENTE -- An 18-year-old woman was arrested early Sunday after she crashed a car into a house, authorities said.
Samantha Rodriguez of Whittier was booked on suspicion of drunken driving and hit-and-run, Los Angeles County sheriff's Lt. Hiroshi Yokoyama said.
The incident occurred about 1:30 a.m. in the 400 block of Tamar Drive, the lieutenant said.
No injuries were reported to Rodriguez, her male passenger or the family living in the home when the car crashed into the living room wall, Yokoyama said.
The car smashed a hole about 5 feet wide and 5 feet tall in the home, he added. The crash caused an estimated $8,000 in damage.
Details of the incident were not available Sunday.
Both the charges are misdemeanors, Yokoyama said, and Rodriguez was expected to be released with a citation.
