You might have seen this on the news this morning...

These are pictures of the house at the northeast corner of South C Street and 6th Avenue South. As the sun rose this morning and while the house's inhabitants were asleep in their beds, a speeding SUV headed west on 6th Avenue South veered of the road and sheared off the structure's entry/porch. The only thing that stopped the forward motion of the vehicle as the tree above. It still had crime scene tape around it when we checked it out on our bike ride around 5 p.m. tonight. Note the lathe wall leaning up next to the western side of the house which was part of the porch 24 hours ago.

This is looking east at what was the path of the speeding vehicle. According to the people we talked to there, the driver didn't have a license, registration, insurance, had an open container in the vehicle and was arrested for DUI.

They were packing up by the time we were there. Apparently, the building official told them they could not continue to stay in the house until the extent of the damage is known and repairs to the structure can be made.
