  • One injured after car crashes into Garner home, police say

    [ad_1]

    A crash between two cars sent one person to the hospital in Garner Saturday morning. 

    Garner police responded to a crash in a neighborhood on Kimloch and Hadrian Drives around 10:30 a.m. The WRAL Breaking News Tracker was on the scene where a white SUV crashed into the side of a home and a red sedan was hit off to the side of the road, its windshield and front bumper badly damaged. 

    Authorities said that the driver of the red sedan ran a stop sign and hit the white SUV, pushing it into the front yard of the home on Kimloch Drive. It caused minimal damage to the house. 

    The driver of the red sedan was taken to the hospital for a hand injury and the driver of the white SUV was uninjured. Police said impairment was not suspected, and the driver of the red sedan was cited for failure to stop at the stop sign. 

    The homeowner was not home at the time, but she told WRAL News the traffic in the neighborhood has gotten worse since she moved there in 1995. She denied a request to be interviewed, but did say she wishes the town would make the road in front of her home a four-way stop.
