A New Hampshire woman who was allegedly under the influence of a toxic substance while driving is facing charges for crashing her car into a Methuen home Wednesday afternoon, police say.
At approximately 1:35 p.m., Methuen police received a 911 call reporting that a vehicle had rear-ended a building at 91 Broadway, Methuen Police Chief Scott J. McNamara said in a statement.
Upon arrival, officers found a Volvo van had crashed into a building, causing its porch to collapse. Two bicycles parked next to the building were also destroyed, according to McNamara.
The driver, 31, of Kingston, NH, was taken to a local hospital. Her name was not released as she was not arrested.
Investigators determined it had allegedly come undone and turned off before the crash, McNamara said.
Huffing is the process of inhaling toxic substances to produce a substance.
The woman will face charges of operating under the influence of drugs (second offense), marked lanes violation and speeding, according to McNamara.
