A suspected drunken driver crashed into a Mount Hope home, causing minor injuries to himself and to two children inside the home, San Diego Police said Thursday.
The crash happened shortly before 9:50 p.m. Wednesday at a home just east of where Federal Boulevard, Home Avenue and a state Route 94 off-ramp intersect, Officer Tony Martinez said.
A 22-year-old man driving a Ford Mustang went off the roadway, continued down an embankment and through a wooden fence before crashing into a bedroom at the back of the home, Martinez said.
Two children — ages 3 and 6 — inside the bedroom suffered minor injuries and were taken to a hospital for treatment.
The driver was also taken to a hospital for treatment of minor injuries and was expected to be arrested on suspicion of DUI, the officer said.
A building engineer was called to the scene and the American Red Cross was requested to help the displaced residents — two adults and two children — arrange for temporary lodging, NBC7 reported.
