UPDATE: Car Smashes into Livermore Home; No Alcohol, Drugs Involved

No arrests and no injuries, according to officials.

Preliminary investigations show no drugs or alcohol were involved when a car smashed into the front of a home at Jensen Street and Princeton Way Tuesday night, according to the Livermore Police Department.

The Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department reported no injuries in the accident, initially called in at 5:38 p.m.

The vehicle caused major damage to the exterior and kitchen of the house, as well as a water leak, officials said. 

No one was home at the time, and the building is not habitable.

Details are not yet released on the driver or what caused the collision, police said. No arrests were made.

Drivers need to slow down, they drive way too fast...

This is my father's house. Praise God he was with us eating dinner instead of at his kitchen table. Thank you City of Livermore PD.FD and CIty Inspector John for quick response and for your kindness. We are so grateful for this community. Now to wrangle with insurance companies and contractors to get him back into his nest.

No drugs or alcohol involved. Just a female driver. :)

My bet...old person who will say they mistakenly hit the gas instead of the brake. I am 70, yet I still know the difference.
dave December 5, 2012 at 11:09 pm

Glad nobody was hurt. Hopefully this ends somebody's driving career before somebody DOES get hurt.

It isn't up to the gov. to help raise your kids. The stork didn't drop the kid off unexpectedly. IfRead More you can't afford kids then don't have them.

Wow, so quick to jump to conclusions and judge. Maybe T.G. BUYS the child's lunch. Every schoolRead More sells hot lunch every day. At the majority of our schools, more lunches are bought than given for free.
DeAnna Senft McDaid June 13, 2013 at 12:43 pm
The schools give us 2 options as parents. 1. Buying lunches on campus or 2. Send them with a lunch.Read More Clearly the author of this chose number 1 and the school was OUT leaving the child with NO 3rd option. Shame on that school.

A great issue! However, the rodeo is nothing but animal cruelty wrapped up as "tradition"Read More and "entertainment". Why would the animal's welfare become a concern now? Rodeo performers have been documented beating, kicking, and shocking normally docile cows and horses in chutes and holding pens. "Bucking broncos" and steers are provoked with electric prods, sharp sticks, caustic ointments, and the pinching "bucking" strap, which is what really makes them jump, they are not "wild" and "dangerous" . The cowboys earn points by spurring the bucking horse. I have seen them up close and many are bleeding. Calves, roped when running, have their necks snapped back by the lasso, often resulting in neck and back injuries, bruises, broken bones, and internal bleeding. After their short and painful "careers," animals in rodeos are sent to the slaughterhouse. Dr. C.G. Haber, a veterinarian who spent 30 years as a federal meat inspector, describes the animals discarded from rodeos for slaughter as being "so extensively bruised that the only areas in which the skin was attached [to the flesh] was the head, neck, leg, and belly. I have seen animals with six to eight ribs broken from the spine and, at times, puncturing the lungs. I have seen as much as 2 to 3 gallons of free blood accumulated under the detached skin." Every national animal protection organization opposes rodeos because of their inherent cruelty. Don't feel bad everyone, I used to love the rodeo too. Before I knew better...

Something to consider and not pushing it aside because I feel its unimportant, but what I'd love toRead More have access to is how the riders that were hurt are doing today. Two bull riders got gored, one in the back and he was down and out for a bit and then obviously not "okay" as he stumbled out of the arena and then another that got his leg hurt and he couldn't get himself over the gate on his own. Left saturday's Rodeo hoping they were okay and would love follow up if at all possible. Thanks!
