News brief: South Chehalis house rammed by vehicle, again

A Chehalis home that was hit by a bus early last year was the scene of another vehicle collision last night.

Nobody inside was injured but two little girls from the offending vehicle were taken to the hospital with scrapes, according to the Chehalis Fire Department.

Police and aid were called about 9:10 p.m. to the split-level home on the 100 block of 13th Street, near William Avenue, according to Fire Capt. Kevin Curfman.

A pickup truck drove through a fence into the driveway, where it ran into two parked vehicles shoving one of them several feet through the closed garage doors, Curfman said.

Curfman said it didn’t appear the driver put on his brakes. The children, ages 4 and 5, had been buckled into car seats and their injuries were minor, he said.

There was lots of broken glass, he said.

Chehalis police did not have a completed report this morning, although Deputy Chief Randy Kaut said the driver was checked and found not to be under the influence.

Residents Hieu Duong and Liu Li were home last February with their children and mother when a Twin Transit bus plowed through a fence and the yard before striking the house. None of them were hurt then either.

“The poor home owner, I really feel for him,” Curfman said.
