BRANFORD, Conn.—Connecticut police say a car slammed into a house in Branford so hard that it left the home uninhabitable.
Police charged the driver, 21-year-old Jeffrey Cannon of Branford, with driving while intoxicated and traveling unreasonably fast after Thursday morning's accident on Shore Drive.
Authorities say Cannon was speeding at about 3:30 a.m. when his car hit a concrete wall, went airborne and smashed into the house's front porch. Cannon wasn't seriously injured. Officials say a woman in the home was taken to a hospital as a precaution.
Officials say there's major damage to the house.
Cannon posted $500 bail and is to appear in New Haven Superior Court on Aug. 11. He couldn't be reached for comment Thursday. There's no phone listing for him.
