Car Slams Into Germantown House
The opening where car entered the house.
Last night, a car slammed into this Germantown, TN house. It appears the car hit the curb traveling at a high rate of speed and became airborne before it entered the house taking out a window and surrounding masonry. From the street, you could not see the car at all before it was removed.
The car was pulled from the house through the same hole it entered.
The car being pulled from inside the house.
Inside, the car went though the dining room and came to rest in the kitchen, destroying everything in it’s path.
- The car went through this dining room.
- The car ended up in the middle of the kitchen
Fortunately, only the dog was home and was unharmed. The teen driver and passenger did not appear to be seriously injured. And yes…it happened on Friday the 13th.
