lincoln-policeLINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A Lincoln woman is facing a charge of drunken driving after her car smashed into a house Saturday night.

Lincoln Police say the crash happened around 10:30 p.m. Saturday on South 77th Street.

The 32-year-old woman’s car hit a mailbox and hit a brick home.

Two residents of the home told police the woman was trying to back out when they came outside to check on her.

Officers determined the woman had a blood-alcohol level of 0.148. That’s well above the legal limit of .08.

The crash caused about $5,000 damage to the home.
