Stolen Car Hits Clearwater House: Report

CLEARWATER, FL — Authorities are investigating after a stolen Mercedes-Benz reportedly ran into a Clearwater woman's home over the weekend.

Marla Lenain told Bay News 9 the car crashed into her sliding-glass door Sunday morning and pushed her car in the driveway. While she said she is grateful to be alive, Lenain told the news station she has been out of work due to the coronavirus pandemic, so repairs are an added stress.

Meanwhile, Bay News 9 reports the police are looking for the person responsible, since the driver left the scene and the car was stolen.

This is the second time this week a stolen vehicle has run into a house in Clearwater.

A teen was arrested last Tuesday after police said he crashed a stolen pickup truck into a home in the 1200 block of Drew Street, which is about 1.5 miles from the scene of Sunday's incident.
