Batavia woman charged with DUI after car strikes house

A Batavia woman was charged with driving under the influence Tuesday after her car struck a house and two parked cars, authorities said.

Mary Gosselin, 21, of the 1000 of block Hodge Lane, was also cited for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident and for disobeying a traffic control device, said Det. Kevin Bretz of the Batavia Police Department.

Gosselin's vehicle hit the house on the 300 block of Pine Street at 1:29 a.m., though none of the five occupants of the home was injured, authorities said.

After glancing off the house, her car continued up the driveway and into two parked vehicles, pushing one of them into a detached garage through the closed overhead door. The car came to rest on its roof, partially on the second vehicle that was parked in the driveway, according to a Batavia Fire Department news release.

It took firefighters 45 minutes to extricate Gosselin from her car, and she was taken to Delnor Community Hospital in Geneva, the release said.

The city's building inspector deemed the house structurally safe.
