POMPANO BEACH, Fla. – A family in Pompano Beach was left with a big mess after an out-of-control car suddenly plowed through their yard.
The Martorano family was sleeping early Sunday morning, when a silver Lexus ES 300 smashed through their bushes, trees and lights, before nearly hitting their home.
The woman behind the wheel, who was seen with a little Dachshund in her lap, hesitated for a few moments and then drove off.
When the sun came up Sunday, the family was shocked to see the destruction all over their yard.
They checked their surveillance cameras and saw what happened.
The car had also taken out an FPL transformer box, which left the family without power for a day.
Police later arrested Ashley Keiser, 38, after she crashed her car in Coconut Creek.
An officer reported seeing Keiser chasing her dog around the intersection after the crash.
The Martorano family said cops told them that Keiser was the driver who crashed through their yard.
Keiser is facing several charges, including DUI, causing a crash with damage and careless driving.
