North Carolina Resident Fed Up as Home Hit by Car for the 6th Time in 12 Years

A North Carolina man says he’s getting close to giving up on his home in Raleigh after it was hit by a driver for the sixth time.

WTVD-TV reported Sunday that Carlo Bernarte says he’s fed up with the half-dozen crashes since he and his family moved in 2004. A drunken driver hit the home in October and later died.

Authorities confirm that a car crashed through a wall and into Bernarte’s property about 5 a.m. Saturday.

Bernarte says his insurance company canceled his homeowner’s policy over the crashes. He says city engineers have told him extending a nearby guardrail would be a safety issue because it could block the line of sight for drivers leaving the neighborhood.

He says he plans on moving his family as soon as he can.

“Who is liable for this? Is it the city? NCDOT? The builder? The engineer who approved building a house here?” said Bernarte. “Probably no action would be taken until the next accident happens.”
