The driver said he'd been drinking, according to police. The homeowner told WKRN that it's not the first time someone has left the road near his house.

“You know it was more of a 'not again' kind of thing. But then no one’s ever hit he house before. All the other car wrecks they just tear up the yard and lawn. And you know, one time someone hit some of the things down here, so we beefed up our rocks a little more,” Gil Ezell told the station.
