It happened just before 5 p.m Thursday at the Park View at Beech Grove Apartments. That’s near Emerson and Churchman avenues in Beech Grove.
Damaged Apartment
Police told the woman who lives there that the 19-year-old driver meant to hit the brake, but hit the gas instead. Neighbors ran out to help after hearing the crash, including, Rickey Barnett.
“I was inside my apartment and I heard a kaboom. So I came out to check on it and then I immediately called the apartment complex to have them come out and shut the electricity and the water off so nothing would catch on fire and everybody on both sides of the apartment would be safe,” Barnett said.
He works for the contracting company who is going to fix the giant hole in the apartment. He says his crew is going to work quickly to fix it in about five days.
Police say the driver was not given a ticket since it happened on private property.
