HUNTINGTON, N.Y., May 29 - Authorities
in New York state said an allegedly drunk woman and her passenger were
unharmed after slamming a convertible Mercedes through a home.
Suffolk County sheriff's deputies and firefighters said Sophia
Anderson, 21, and her passenger walked away with only minor scratches
and bruises Monday when the vehicle, which had the top down, took down a
tree and crashed all the way through a
Huntington home, leaving items
including cabinets, the kitchen sink and a stove scattered around the
home's back yard, the New York post reported Tuesday.
The homeowner, Helen Indiere, 96, was unharmed.
Investigators said Anderson, who refused to submit to a breath test, was charged with driving while intoxicated.
"The impressive part was it was a ... convertible with the top down
and there was barely a scratch" on Anderson and her passenger,
Huntington Fire Chief Ken Cochran said. "They were very, very lucky."
Cochran said the incident could have been much worse had National
Grid workers not quickly been able to close off a gas leak caused by the
stove being ripped from the kitchen.
"It could have been a disaster," Cochran said.
