On May 19th around 11:45pm, deputies responded to a collision of a truck into a house located at the 600 block of 111th St. S in Parkland. When deputies arrived, they learned the driver was a 17-year-old female who appeared very intoxicated. The 17-year-old female was arrested and processed for DUI.
This young woman is very lucky no one died in this situation. The homeowners had been in the back portion of the home at the time of the collision. If they had been in their living room, this could have been very different.
Parents, please have these important conversations with your teens about the dangers of drinking and driving. This time of the year, we see too often juvenile collisions involving alcohol end in serious injuries and even death.
