The California Highway Patrol was investigating how big of a factor prescription drugs played into a series of car collisions with a driver who hit two houses, a parked vehicle, and a fire hydrant. The driver was transported to Mercy San Juan Medical Center with minor injuries. She was driving eastbound on Tierra Vista Way when she ran into a house that had just finished being remodeled. Officers say she backed up her vehicle, drove over a fire hydrant (which flooded the street), and crashed into the home one more time before speeding away. She next hit a white Acura parked in front of another house, causing the Acura to fly into the air. Her collision pushed both cars into the house’s garage.
