MANCHESTER, N.H. – A 19-year-old is under arrest after allegedly crashing his car into a home while drunk.
The crash happened late Thursday night at the home of Peg Gunzelman on Boynton Street.
“The car was way over here, up against my house. The kid was getting out of the car, and walked across the street, and was going into their driveway,” Gunzelman said.
