December 10, 2019
An elderly Dresden woman was displaced from her home Tuesday afternoon after a suspected drunk driver crashed into her bedroom.
According to Chief Harold Wolford of the Dresden Fire Department, the driver of a Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck crashed into 1379 Main St., leaving a hole in the house and damaging the foundation.
The elderly woman, believed to be in her 90s, was in the home at the time but was in another part of the house.
“If she had been in that front room, she would have probably been hurt,” said Wolford.
She walked out uninjured.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol was on scene with the Dresden Police Department to investigate.
The driver of the pickup truck was taken to Genesis Hospital with no apparent injuries.

That is my mother’s home you crashed into,jerk. I hope they throw the book at you. Mom is 93y.o. and just laid her one and only daughter to rest September 1, 2019 while recovering from a massive heart attack. You have a Merry Christmas and may God deliver Peace in the name of the Holy Season to our Family. I do thank you, however, for not killing her lying in her own bed.
