NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla. - A New Port Richey homeowner has quite a mess to clean up after a neighbor drove a pickup truck into their residence Saturday morning, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Troopers say a 2004 Chevy Avalanche was parked in the driveway of 6823 Willits Avenue around 9: 30 a.m. when the driver began to travel in reverse.
The 65-year-old woman at the wheel then hit the gas pedal instead of the brake, traveled across the street, crashed into an unoccupied home at 6822 Willits Avenue and came to a final rest inside the structure, according to FHP.
Troopers say nobody was injured in the crash.
