(KSL News) A Salt Lake neighborhood is shaken up when a van nearly crashes into someone's house.
A man was driving on California Avenue when he hit a parked car, lost control and then accelerated onto a lawn, taking out the back porch and fence of the home.
Two people were inside the house when they felt the bump, but no one was injured. The parked car was totaled.
Arlene Crebs/ Car Hit: "We were inside the house when we heard this great big boom. Then had someone tell me that there was a bad accident out there. We came out, investigated, and our car had just been hit really hard."
The van came extremely close to also hitting a gas main.
The driver tried to flee but a group of neighbors stopped him until police came. Police believe the driver was intoxicated and he's under arrest.
