SUV slams into home, nearly hits resident

SAN ANTONIO -

An SUV crashed into a home on the city's West Side early Tuesday morning, nearly hitting a woman who was sleeping in the home.

Police said the 30-year-old woman who was behind the wheel told them she fell asleep around 4:30 a.m., causing her vehicle to go out of control in the 600 block of North Colorado Street.

The SUV took out a chain link fence and cut a path through the front yard of one home, then came to rest against the front wall of the house next door.

A woman who lives there said her bed is located on the other side of the wall that was hit.

While the crash startled her, she said she was not hurt. Her front steps stopped the SUV from entering her home.

Police said they arrested the driver on outstanding warrants and for driving without insurance.
