A resident who lives off of Lake Elmo Drive is lucky to have received no injuries, after a large SUV lost control and ran into his house on Saturday (4/24), according to a post on the @BillingsPD Twitter page.

Just over a month ago, another SUV drove completely into a home on 13th Street West. That home was also occupied at the time of the accident, but no one inside the residence had any injuries.
