Truck, not Santa, enters Athens, Ala. house on Christmas Eve
A pickup truck plowed into a vacant room being remodeled from a garage into a bedroom, awakening the homeowner in the early hours of Christmas Eve, the Decatur Daily reports.
"I thought Santa had come early," Limestone County resident Matt Allen told the Decatur Daily. "I thought Santa and the reindeer had lost altitude and hit the house."
According to troopers, the single-vehicle wreck injured the driver, Robert Carroll of Athens, but no one in the house. An ambulance transported the 18-year-old driver to Athens-Limestone Hospital, and a medical helicopter then took him to Huntsville Hospital, where he was in the surgical intensive care unit in serious condition on Wednesday afternoon.
