Car plows into Rockdale County home with pregnant woman inside

ROCKDALE COUNTY, Ga. — For the fourth time, a car smashed into a family's home. A pregnant woman was in the house on McDaniel Mill Road in Conyers just moments before the crash.

Police believe the driver was drunk.

"We were just trying to enjoy New Year's Eve, and a truck decided to run through our house," said Nevilyn Karney.

Karney is eight months pregnant. She and her boyfriend were in the room right next door and felt the impact when the car came crashing through.

"I thought it was a tree at first but it was a lot bigger and it kept getting louder and louder," she said. "It's just a dangerous area and they over and over keep hitting my house."

Her mother in law, Brandy Parker, owns the home off McDaniel Mill Road. She said this is the fourth time someone has crashed into their house.
