What could have occurred between stealing a SUV and crashing into an
Artesia home at dawn?
Whether it is street racing with friends or driving under the
influence (DUI), the homeowners well know that their house was broken.

Teen driving at dawn is usual along Los Angeles streets especially
during summer break. Teenagers engage in road race and night partying
that precedes vehicle crashes.

Take the case of Martins' family when a teen driver crashed a stolen
Chevy Tahoe into their Los Angeles home on Tuesday at 2:25 a.m.

According to reports, a young motorist was traveling on 183rd Street
and Clarkdale Avenue intersection when the SUV slammed into the house.
The homeowners were at home, but were not hurt in the accident.

Los Angeles police officers arrested the young boy, but his identity
was not released because he is a minor.
Virgina and Joe Martins, the homeowners, said that their house's fence
has been struck four times, but the front door was struck once. The
couple commented that the property has insurance and they will assert
coverage for the damage. The family has been staying in the house for
40 years.
Building inspectors are assessing the safety of the house.

Because the accused is a teenager, the litigation process for his
robbery and vehicle accident is different than that of adult's. The
court may summon the boy's parents and determine their responsibility
for the accident. The boy may face penalties such as hours of
community service and rehabilitation.

If the insurer is cooperative enough to cover the property damage, the
couple may give a sigh of relief. The boy's parents may also negotiate
with the other party on how to settle the matter.
