Just before 10 p.m. Monday evening, the Williams Lake RCMP attended a single motor vehicle incident on Third Avenue North.

The investigation has determined that a pickup truck was travelling west on Midnight Avenue at a high rate of speed, turned into Third Avenue and lost control, Insp. Warren Brown said.

"It struck a parked vehicle in the driveway at a residence pushing that vehicle into the house."

Substantial damage was done to both vehicles and the house. The driver was taken to the hospital for minor injuries.

Brown said alcohol is believed to be a contributing factor and the investigation is continuing.

Nobody in the house was injured.
