Allegedly Drunk Driver Crashes Into NH Home, Injures Man On Porch

ROCHESTER, N.H. (CBS) -- An allegedly drunk driver slammed into a New Hampshire home on Saturday morning, injuring a man inside his porch at the time.

Rochester police say 29-year-old James Curit, of Rochester, was driving a 1996 Saturn SL sedan eastbound on Highland Street when he crossed over to the other side of the road and crashed into a home at about 10 a.m.

Ronald Rouleau was inside the porch when the car struck, and was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.

Curit and his 24-year-old passenger were also hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.

The porch of the house was heavily damaged, but the rest of the house is still inhabitable, police said.
