- This week, a 20-year-old Winnetka woman was charged with DUI. Earlier this month, she had lost control of her car, crashing into the living room of a sleeping Wilmette family.
The woman named Colleen D. Brennan, resident of the 600 block of Sheridan Road, was charged when she had a blood-alcohol content of .29, which is greater than three times the legal limit to drive of .08.
According to the Police, Brennan was alone in a Saab at 5 a.m. on Dec. 5, when she crashed into a fire hydrant and a parked car before crossing four lawns in the 1100 block of Ridge Road in Wilmette. After that, she drove right through the bushes, before going airborne and hitting the home.
After the crash, the homeowners woke up, who were upstairs. They found the Christmas decorations and curtains, dragged into their living room through a bay window with broken glass sprayed all over the floor.
According to the homeowner, JoAnne Rankin, Brennan had been thrown from the car and was lying on her back, yelling that she could not see.
Due to the crash, the Rankins lost power supply to their house for days as the Saab had hit their electrical panel and gas meter.
