Car home: chain reaction accident sends parked vehicle down and into the house in Mamaroneck, West Chest County

Mamaroneck, New York (WABC) – A wild scene unfolded in a quiet street in the west chest of County, in which a defendant drowned drunker slapped into a parked car and sent this vehicle into a nearby house.

The crash occurred on Tuesday shortly before 11 p.m.

The black car, which had to be pulled out of Robin Howe and Glenn Backus' living room wall, only missed Backus. He was in his deck chair and looked away and heard the bang of a loud car crashed, but the car would not affect its effects in her living room for a few seconds.

“Literally seconds, two or three seconds,” said Backus. “It was all when I got out of lying down and went out of the front door to see what this bang was.”

The first accident sent the black car, which rounded down a curved hill, on which the Palmer Avenue hits the Mount Pleasant Avenue in Mamaroneck.

The surveillance video shows that the car is plowed directly above a yield before sailing into the parking lot, which is only separated from the house by a fence covered by ivy. It couldn't take up the entire impact, but the wall of the house did it.

“You can see that the air conditioning had ended up on my legs,” said Backus.

When they realized how far and how quickly this car had come before it was hit in the fence and your house, imagine that it had no one at the wheel.

“The police originally thought that someone fled the scene because there was no driver in the car,” said Howe. “So they looked around and then they received a call and said that they stormed on the street like a head.”

The black car was parked on the top of the hill. A young woman who drove another car had driven and caused this initial crash.

“Her airbag was in, but she was driving,” said Howe. “But the ambulance went up there and they said: 'Yes, she didn't go to the hospital.' She was fine.

The Mamaroneck police confirmed that the driver was charged with DWI. Howe and Backus say it is not the first time that a car has control over control on this curved hill.

“On two occasions there is a car, you know, run down when someone drove and fell into the house next door,” said Howe.

They say the police tried to find the owner of the black car because the damage will explain a lot to the insurance company.

Somehow there were no injuries.
