(La Porte County, IN) - La Porte County Police say the driver of a car that crashed into a home near Kingsbury over the weekend was impaired by alcohol.

 

Emergency personnel responded to 566 E. Bobble Ave, just east of US 35 and 400 South at around 2 a.m. Saturday. Police said when they arrived, a car was resting against the attached garage and was also inside it. The residents told officers they woke up to a loud boom prior to discovering the crash.

Police said tire marks in the snow make it appear the car drove straight into the northeast corner of the attached garage after failing to negotiate a curve.

 

The driver, 21-year-old Antonio Christensen told investigators he missed the curve because of his car sliding on the slick pavement. However, he was arrested with an alleged blood alcohol level about three times the legal limit.

 

Police said there were no injuries in the collision.
