New Hampshire woman facing several charges after blacking out and striking Massachusetts home, bicycles
A New Hampshire woman is facing charges after reportedly blacking out and crashing into a home in Massachusetts.
According to Chief Scott McNamara, the Methuen Police Department will summon a woman to court for operating under the influence of drugs when she struck a home on Broadway Street on Wednesday afternoon.
Just after 1:30 p.m., Methuen Police received a 911 call reporting a vehicle struck a building at 91 Broadway Street.
Officers arrived to find a Volvo station wagon that struck a building and caused it’s front porch to collapse. Two bicycles that were parked next to the building were also destroyed.
The driver of the vehicle, a 31-year-old Kingston, New Hampshire woman, was taken to a local hospital for evaluation.
An on-scene investigation determined the driver was allegedly huffing and blacked out prior to the crash occurring.
The woman will appear in court at a later date to face charges of operating under the influence of drugs (second offense), marked lanes violation, and speeding.
The name of the woman was not released.

Charging someone for a disease seems unfair. If she were under the influence of cancer would she be criminalized?
