Around 4 pm, Tuesday afternoon, the driver a a Chevy Tahoe lost control of his vehicle, causing it to crash into a Buick Sentry, which was parked in the driveway of a residence at the corner of East Jackson and South Conley.
The Buick was then pushed into the corner of the home by the momentum of the Tahoe.

Myron Briggs, age 36, was charged with drinking in public and failure to maintain control of a vehicle. The vehicle he was driving reportedly did have insurance.

I see that Lady working in her yard very often. Thank God she wasn’t out side working. I feel so sorry for her. This is just so sad to me.I can tell that Lil Lady loves her home and her yard. I hope someone has to pay dearly for this one!!
I agree with Ms. Sue B completely. This lady is ALWAYS in her yard on her hands an knees manicuring her lawn as stated in earlier comment. Also,I have seen this Tahoe multiple times speeding down Main st and College st. When I say speeding,I mean spinning tires and always throttle wide open. Now this lady’s car is totaled and her house needs repaired and I bet she is more worried about her lawn being messed up. It could have been alot worse.
This is an example of how God is always at work protecting us when we are doing his work that he left for us to do! It is how it is going to be the day he sends his son to bring his children home, one (being the safe chair) will be taken and one (being the thrown chair) will be left!
Anne, That is a great analogy. Very true.
Thank Goodness, no one was hurt in the accident.
I will also comment on how neat this lady keeps her house and yard. Very seldom is she not in her yard when I pass.
He should have to do community service for sure and make sure her yard is back like it was;
