One person was injured after a man crashed into a Lancaster County home after falling asleep behind the wheel early Saturday morning.   It happened just after 2 a.m. along the 200 block of East Main Street in Terre Hill.

Troy Weaver was asleep on the couch of the first-floor of the home when he heard a loud crash and then was thrown to the floor. Weaver sustained injuries to his arm and sought treatment at a local hospital.

    Buzzed driving IS drunk driving. If the cops stopped every driver on the road after midnight on Friday and Saturday nights, 70% would be arrested.

    True to your moniker, you make an absurd assumption that 70% of all drivers on the road after midnight are buzzed or drunk. If you have data to prove that, share it and its source.
