Methuen Police responded to the crash at 91 Broadway Street around 1:35 p.m. on Wednesday, April 12, Chief Scott J. McNamara reports.

Upon arrival, officers found a Volvo station wagon that drove into the building and caused its front porch to collapse. The driver, a 31-year-old woman from Kingston, NH, was taken to a local hospital for evaluation.

Officers later determined that the woman was allegedly "huffing and blacked out prior the crash," McNamara said. She is expected in court to a second OUI charge, as well as a marked lanes violation and speeding.
