A home in DeKalb County was the site of an accident that had a vehicle crashing into the garage after losing control on a patch of ice.
Because it was a snow day, the residents of the house were at home. They told media reporters that they heard a loud crash and thought that maybe a tree had fallen onto the home.
No one at home was injured, a fact that the Madgett family credits to their cars being parked in the garage. Had their cars not been there, the vehicle would have plowed into the kitchen which is where the family was gathered.
