In West Philadelphia, a vehicle crashed through the porch and front steps of a home on Belmont Avenue early Friday, coming to rest on the lawn as crews cleared debris. Officials had not said whether anyone was injured or what caused the crash, and the investigation was ongoing. In a separate incident in Wilmington, North Carolina, a car drove through yards and damaged multiple properties before hitting a home Tuesday evening. Police say driver Laron Eric Brown, 39, was charged with driving while impaired and driving without an operator’s license; he was taken to a hospital after the crash, and the extent of the property damage was still being assessed.
