Delaware State Police are investigating an accident in which a car crashed into a house.
It happened Saturday morning shortly after 11 a.m. Police say Carlot Stinvil, 22, of Dover, was driving a Nissan Maxima northbound on South DuPont Highway in Felton, Delaware, just north of Barney Jenkins Road. Stinvil exited the roadway on the 7500 block of South DuPont and struck a mailbox before driving into a ditch, according to investigators. Investigators say the car continued northbound across two private driveways before crashing through a wooden fence post.
The car continued across a front lawn and struck the corner of the deck at the home, according to police. Police say the car then struck a dirt berm which sent it flying into the air and into the back of a Lexus parked in the driveway. Stinvil finally came to a stop after he crashed into a home on the 7400 block of South DuPont Highway.
