Porsche SUV slams into Boulder home

A Porsche sports utility vehicle slammed into a home in the 3500 block of 4th Street in North Boulder Saturday morning, according to Boulder Police. 

The driver lost control, flipped the car and crashed into the home, according to police. The vehicle launched several feet into the home and onto a patio area, largely crushing the passenger department. 

When police arrived, the driver was trapped inside the car. Police report there were no major injuries, despite the damage to the home and the SUV.

On the eve of Superbowl Sunday, police asked people to celebrate responsibly and never drink and drive. In 2020, more than 11,000 people were killed in drunk driving incidents according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The NHTSA reports about 32 people die per day as a result. 

The Boulder Fire Department, American Medical Response and Mountain View Fire Rescue assisted Boulder Police with rescuing the driver. After the 42-year-old was medically cleared, Boulder Police took him to the Boulder County Jail on charges of driving under the influence, careless driving and texting while driving.
