Four crashes in nine years proved to be the last straw for a northwest Oklahoma City family.

On Monday morning, a driver slammed into the family’s home near Northwest 32nd Street and Independence Avenue. The family is so fed up with the repeated crashes that it said it is moving out.


“Uh, not again. Not again,” Amber Lindauer said. “It’s happened four times.”

Police said a suspected drunken driver ran a stop sign and crashed through the fence and into the side of her home, landing in the kitchen.

“Had it happen 30 minutes later, I would have been getting up for work and I would have been in the kitchen getting my coffee and making my lunch for the day,” Lindauer said. “I probably wouldn’t be here right now.”

The driver was still at the scene when she went to see what happened.

“I could hear him yelling, asking if we were OK,” Lindauer said.

The damage to her home of nine years is substantial.

“Our stove was shattered. There’s debris all the way to the back of the house,” Lindauer said.

Lindauer is not testing fate for the fifth time.

“I’m not sticking around to see if someone is getting hurt the fifth time. We’re moving,” she said.
