Newport News Car Accident Lawyer Report : Couple Are Injured by a Car in Their Home in Kiln Creek, Newport News

The number of accidents caused by drunk driving often spikes on public holidays. In Newport News, a woman lost control of her car and crashed into a home, injuring an elderly couple inside on Memorial Day.

Police say DUI charges are pending after the crash in Newport News that left a man and a woman injured, reported Channel 3.

Newport News Police and Fire said a 38-year-old woman driving a Nissan lost control of her car and crashed into the kitchen area of the residence in the 2200 block of Timberneck Lane in the Kiln Creek area of Newport News, Channel 3 reported.

A 75-year-old man and a woman aged 72 were both inside the home at the time of the crash. They were taken to a local hospital where the man’s injuries were reported to be life threatening.

Channel 3 reported DUI charges are pending in the wake of the accident.

As a Newport News car accident lawyer, I was appalled to read about these injuries to an elderly couple who were in their home. I hope they make a complete recovery. If you are hit and hurt by a driver when you are in a building you likely have a good case to make a personal injury claim against the at-fault driver’s insurance policy.
