SMITHFIELD – A Smithfield home sustained approximately $10,000 in damage after being struck by a suspected impaired driver.

According to public records, Hernandez was charged with driving while impaired, reckless driving, and driving without a license. He registered 0.13 on the Breathalyzer, above the legal limit of 0.08.
Hernandez was released on a $5,000 bond. The truck was seized.

“Hernandez was released on a $5,000 bond.” SMH!! Like 5K and a seized truck will keep this POS of the streets. Just ridiculous! “He reportedly claimed the gas pedal became stuck and he could not stop the vehicle.” Was that in English, curious?
