ATTLEBORO (CBS) – A 72-year-old woman is expected to face charges after police say she sped off from a crash scene and then slammed her car into a house in Attleboro early Thursday morning.
It started around 5:30 a.m. when two cars were involved in a minor accident at West and North Main Streets.
But police said one of the drivers, an unidentified 72-year-old woman, sped off down West Street.
About a quarter of a mile away, she lost control of her car on a turn, hit a sign outside a dentist’s office, then struck a fire hydrant and a chain link fence before the car launched into the air hitting a house.
The car ended up flipped on its roof and there was significant damage to the home. The roof of a porch collapsed after the crash.
