A drunk driver was arrested on Wednesday August 24 2011 after he crashed his Chevy Blazer into the roof of a house at the intersection of Kensington and 43rd street. The SUV caused the roof to sink into the first floor. The driver was a 20-year-old man from the city of Grandview and he has a male and female passenger in the vehicle. He was speeding through the intersection without a seatbelt when he ran off the road and into the victim’s yard. His car was launched off the yard and into the roof. None of the eight occupants of the house were reported injured, but the driver was taken to the hospital for minor injuries. The house is believed to be beyond repair.
It was extremely lucky that no one was seriously injured, but all too often drunk driving leads to serious injuries or death. It is important to recognize the increasing dangers that drunk or drugged driving present. While laws are in place that hinder a person from driving drunk, there is always a possibility that a drunk driver will be on the road.
