NP Woman Accused of Hitting Houses, Other Items with Vehicle; Alcohol Use Suspected

Police say they believe the driver of a vehicle that struck two houses and multiple other objects was under the influence of alcohol.

According to Investigator John Deal of the North Platte Police Department, officers responded to the report of a traffic accident in the 4000 block of West Parkland Circle at around 1:36 a.m., on Monday morning.

Officers made contact with the driver of a 2007 Mercury Montego and identified her as 34-year-old Jessica Pavlik.

Deal said Pavlik had visible, non-life threatening injuries and was transported via ambulance to Great Plains Health.

An accident investigation was conducted and showed that Pavlik had been traveling westbound on West 2nd Street when her vehicle veered to the right and left the roadway.

The vehicle reportedly struck a light pole and a tree in the yard of a residence.  After striking the tree, Deal says the vehicle continued to move and struck the outside wall, near the kitchen, of the residence at 4005 West Parkland Circle.  Pavlik’s vehicle then hit the neighboring residence at 4010 West Parkland Circle and came to rest in the yard.

Investigators say there were no witnesses to the accident other than Pavlik.  However, they say it is suspected that Pavlik was under the influence of alcohol.  Deal said the results of a blood draw taken at the hospital should be returned in a few days.

Investigators gave the following breakdown of the damage allegedly caused by Pavlik’s vehicle:

  • Street light-$500
  • Tree-$100
  • Residence at 4005 West Parkland Circle-$10,000
  • Residence at 4010 West Parkland Circle-$15,000

Police believe that Pavlik’s vehicle will be a total loss, and they don’t believe that a seatbelt was in use.

Charges against Pavlik are pending.
