Car Hits House, but Toddler Keeps Sleeping - Yahoo! News: "NORFOLK, Va. - Wild horses might be able to wake TaylorAnn Richason, but not mere horsepower. Her whole house shook early Tuesday when a car crashed into it, destroying a sheetrock wall just inches from the 3-year-old's bed. The toddler, uninjured, slept right through it.
Marsha Richason ran to her daughter's room to find steam wafting through it from the car's smashed radiator.
'There was an angel on my daughter's side,' she said.
The car slammed into the side of the Richasons' house about 2:30 a.m., punching a hole in the child's bedroom wall. Police had tried to pull over the car, and the driver took off, said Cpl. Kurt Stanton, a police spokesman. The driver then lost control and slammed into the Richason's home.
Stanton said the driver fled, but an injured passenger was apprehended but had not been charged.
The driver was identified as George David Denardo III, 19. He is wanted for felony hit and run, evasion and driving on a suspended license. Stanton said Denardo also had been wanted for failure to appear.
Besides a hole in their home, the Richason's did get something else from the ordeal.
'I got me a souvenir,' Travis Richason said, showing a crumpled license plate he found in a crawl space under their house after the car was towed."
