ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - St. Petersburg Police say a woman ran off the road and into a house and they don't think she ever hit the brakes.

The SUV crunched through the side of a house in the 4600 block of 6th Street South, but missed hitting anyone inside.

The woman who lives there says she wasn't sure what happened when she heard the huge boom.

Police believe the woman behind the wheel of that SUV had been drinking. She wasn't hurt in the crash. Another woman riding in the car with her did go to the hospital, though, just for observation.
