SUV crashes, ends up in living room

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — An investigation is under way after an SUV crashed through the front wall of an Alaska house, missing the homeowner by inches.

Nadine Lefevre of Anchorage was still in her bathrobe, sitting in an easy chair Tuesday morning when the SUV crashed through the front wall of her house. By the time it stopped, the vehicle was entirely inside Lefevre's living room, and barely missed her purple chair.

Police spokesman Lt. Dave Parker says, "Someone was looking out for her."

Authorities say the vehicle's driver was southbound on a major thoroughfare, lost control of the SUV and went east, straight into Lefevre's home.

The driver had minor injuries and was transported to a local hospital. The cause of the crash is under investigation.
