Man Nearly Drives Into House

A man nearly crashed into a home in Winchester early Monday morning.

It happened just after midnight in the 200-block of South Highland Street.

Police said the driver of the car hit a vehicle parked on the side of the road, went through a yard, over a small rock wall and then hit the air conditioning unit outside a family’s home.

Linda Carter, the woman who lives in that home, said her husband and 13-year-old son were asleep inside at the time.

No one was hurt.

Carter said the driver told police his headlights went out.

There didn’t appear to be any structural damage to the home.

Carter’s husband actually gave the driver a ride home after the incident.
