Another car crashes in Maryland woman's yard, increasing total to 9: "I'm just tired of cleaning up crashes"

A video showed a car flying off a Baltimore County road and onto a front lawn on Monday. Unfortunately, it's nothing new for homeowner Krista Cantafio.

She told CBS News Baltimore this was the ninth time a vehicle has crashed on her property in the last two years. Her home is off a sharp curve in Catonsville, and she said the county has yet to help put an end to it. 

She said Monday's crash was the closest a car came to hitting her house on Kenwood Avenue.

Cantafio told CBS News Baltimore last month that she has had to replace several mailboxes after cars sped along a dangerous curve and landed in her yard.

She said she has tried several measures to prevent it from happening, including placing traffic cones and rocks in her yard. There are also rumble strips aimed at slowing drivers.

"I'm just tired of cleaning up crashes," Cantafio said. "My grass is gone, I have had to replace the mailbox several times, I have had to go to court, it's been a lot."

Cantafio said she contacted Baltimore County's Department of Public Works and Transportation (DPWT).  

What's next?

The DPTW told CBS News Baltimore that its Transportation Bureau determined the portion along Kenwood Avenue qualifies for speed humps. The department said the next steps will be collecting signatures of support from neighbors along the road.

The DPWT added that once a traffic study determines that traffic calming devices are needed, a community petition that includes 75% approval from residents adjacent to the traffic concerns needs to be submitted.

After that, the projects are scheduled based on available funding.

A DPWT spokesperson said they saw Cantafio's and contacted police to get more information about a preliminary cause and whether the road or additional extenuating circumstances factored into the crash.
