We asked about the condition of the young woman seriously hurt in the crash last night. They gave us a thumbs up. And told us shes doing fine. Its remarkable the 25yearold woman, asleep inside her converted garage bedroom, is still alive. Last night, around 10 30, an out of control suv blew through her bedroom wall, and pinned her among the debris. Her father screamed for help. This neighbor rushed in, not knowing where she was.
