Driver flees after crashing car into house in Denver's Green Valley Ranch neighborhood
A car crashed into a house and came to a stop inside after daybreak on Monday in northeast Denver. It happened on Monday morning in the Green Valley Ranch neighborhood, near the intersection of Maxwell Place and Netherland Street.
No one was apparently home at the time of the crash. According to the Denver Fire Department the house has significant damage. A few hours later safety team was checking the home to see if it is structurally stable.
CBS News Colorado's news helicopter flew over the scene and the trail of the car as it went into the house was littered with debris from a fence that the vehicle smashed through and from outdoor furniture that was destroyed. There was also a team of first responders checking on the walls. The car was still in the house more than 2 hours after the crash but got towed away later.
So far police haven't released any description of the driver who took off after causing the incident.
It's likely the car was stolen, according to investigators, although an official report has yet to be released.
