LPD: Driver Was High When He Crashed Into Building

"I was doing the dishes, listening to my music and all of a sudden I just hear a big boom,” resident Andrea Tuttle said.

That boom was car plowing through the outside wall of her duplex.

"It was so loud,” Tuttle said. "It was like one of those wrecking balls you see crashing a building. That’s what it sounded like that it did."

It happened around 11 a.m. near the corner of Yellowstone Parkway and Alumni Drive Thursday.

“The driver lost control of their vehicle and struck the building,” Lexington Fire Major Daniel Bellot told ABC 36 News.

Lexington Police spokeswoman Sherelle Roberts said the driver, Geoffrey Lodge, 33, was under the influence of illegal narcotics, passed out and lost control of his car.

"I looked out the back door and that’s when I saw this gentleman’s car in the bottom of the building," Tuttle said.

Witnesses tell ABC 36 News that car crashed into the bedroom of a young child.

"That’s the little girl’s bed [in] the corner,” Tuttle said. “It could have been really worse than it was."

Lexington Fire transported Lodge to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Police said he was charged with DUI at the hospital.

"Right now we have two families that are going to be displaced,” Bellot said. “They are going to have to be relocated for a few days."

"It’s going to be an inconvenience to everyone but we are all alive,” Tuttle said. “That’s all that really matters.”
