Girl, 17, suspected of DUI after crashing into Ventura County home
A teenage girl was arrested on suspicion of DUI after crashing into a Newbury Park home in Ventura County Monday night.
The incident was reported when a wrong-way driver was spotted shortly after 8:15 p.m. in the area of Mountain Creek Drive and Gentle Creek Circle.
That report was followed a short time later by calls of a vehicle into a home, a spokesperson for the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office said.
Video from the scene showed the vehicle engulfed in flames. A good Samaritan could be seen trying to put out the blaze before firefighters arrived and doused it.
Deputies located two 17-year-old females, the vehicle’s driver and a passenger, near the scene.
The driver was arrested on suspicion of DUI and hit-and-run, the spokesperson said.
