HALIFAX, Mass. (AP) — For the second time in two days, an 18th century Massachusetts home has been heavily damaged in a car crash.
The latest accident happened early Friday morning in Halifax, about 40 miles south of Boston. Police say a car crashed into the 1740 home and ended up in the living room as the couple who lives there was sleeping. Only the driver was hurt.
The driver was treated at a hospital and charged with negligent operation of a motor vehicle, speeding and marked lanes violation.
Early Thursday morning, a man was charged with drunken driving after crashing his pickup truck into the 1769 Alvan Crocker house in Barnstable on Cape Cod. An elderly couple who lives there also was sleeping but wasn't injured.
