Mary Gosselin, 21, of the 1000 of block Hodge Lane in Batavia, has also been cited for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident and disobeying a stop sign, according to the article.

The crash occurred at 1:30 a.m. Tuesday in the 300 block of Pine Street when Gosselin’s vehicle left the roadway, struck the house and then hit two unoccupied vehicles parked in the driveway, according to a Batavia Fire Department press release and media reports. The vehicle pushed one of the parked vehicles into the detached garage through a closed overhead door and came to rest on its roof, partially on top of another vehicle, according to the news release.
