PHOENIX, AZ – Phoenix Police believe impairment was a major factor behind a crash that damaged a Phoenix home on Wednesday.
Police told AZFamily that the driver, who operated a white pickup truck, plowed into a home located off West Tonto Street and South 13th Avenue. The incident happened around 5 a.m.
Police handcuffed the driver, who they believe was under the influence of drugs or alcohol, when they crashed into the home.
