Woman charged with DWI after backing car into house in Durham
DURHAM (WTVD) -- Durham police have charged a woman with DWI after officers say she hit a parked car and backed at high speed into a house in Durham's Glennstone neighborhood.
It happened Sunday around 1:30 a.m. on the corner of Glennstone Drive and Amber Stone Way.
Durham police said the driver of a Toyota Camry hit the front bumper of a parked Nissan Murano, put her car in reverse, and backed into the side of a house where a family of four was asleep inside. No one inside the house was hurt.
"Our door to our room flew open. It was like boom, somebody kicked the door in!" said homeowner Catiner Crutchfield.
The driver has been identified as 31-year-old Mariana Ayad Mansi Bekheit.
Bekheit was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Police charged her with DWI, driving without insurance, and damage to property.
The Camry has been left in place until officials can figure out how to remove it without causing more damage. A structural engineer told the family the car is keeping the second floor of the home from falling.
