A woman who hit another car, and then ran into a house while driving through the Bargaintown section of Egg Harbor Township Tuesday morning was arrested for DUI.

Police say Christine Adkins,46, was heading east in a 2006 Pontiac on Zion Road a little before 8 A.M. when she struck the car in front of her which caused her to lose control of the wheel, veer off the road and drive into the home at Zion Road and Renee Drive.

No injuries have been reported but the house did sustain some serious structural damage.

Adkins was issued a summons for DUI, reckless driving, careless driving and failure to maintain her lane. It’s not known how fast she was going at the time of the crash.

The Bargaintown Volunteer Fire Company and the Egg Harbor Township Building Inspector responded and assisted the police department at the scene of the crash.
