Phoenix home damaged after car crash
Officials say impairment is suspected in connection with a crash that damaged a home in Phoenix, and this is not the first time such an incident has happened to the home. FOX 10's Lindsey Ragas reports.
This is not the first time a car has crashed into the home in question, and neighbors are worried about their safety.
"We walk with my grandson every day, and this traffic-calming is, you know, take your life into your own hands because people don't pay attention," said Libby Cohen.
Zalizniak said when the rebuilding process starts, they will put heavier stones around their property.
"We love this house. We've lived here for about 10 months, so we were just getting settled in. I was just sending pictures to my parents that the study was almost finished and organized just literally last week, but you know, it's just stuff, and we can replace it and get it fixed, and I'm grateful that we can," said Zalizniak.
