Most of us understand that when we get behind the wheel of a vehicle, we are taking on certain risks that involve our own driving maneuvers and the decisions of other drivers. However, most would not assume that there is risk involved with traffic while they are at home. Luckily, no one had to find out the hard way that such risks do exist as a car crashed into a home in Summerlin Friday afternoon after being involved in an accident.
According to CBS 8 Las Vegas:
“A Summerlin couple must now repair a large hole in their home after a car crashed into it Friday afternoon.
Police say it began when a three-car accident took place near the home. One of the cars veered off the road and into the house of Susan Enney and her husband.
She was at work when her husband called to tell her about the accident. “He was sitting on the couch, and he heard a big boom,” she said. “The car came tumbling through the kitchen. I said, ‘What?’ He said, ‘Really, I’m serious. There is a car in the kitchen.’ I came home, and there was a car in my kitchen!”
The crash left debris scattered throughout the kitchen, but Susan Enney says it could have been worse. “If the air conditioner wouldn’t have been there, I am sure she would have come pretty much into the dining room area,” she said. “It’s a relief… that nobody got hurt and it can be fixed. So, I am happy.”
It didn’t take long for repair crews to begin work on the home. The couple now faces numerous phone calls with their insurance companies.”
