KETTERING, Ohio -- A teenage driver swerved to miss a squirrel, lost control and slammed into a home, causing major damage. The accident happened Friday afternoon on Broad Boulevard in Kettering.

The 16-year-old driver told police that he lost control of his car after he swerved to miss an albino squirrel that ran out into the street. The accident caused windows to shatter and the garage to cave in when the car struck the residence.

The woman who owns the home was not there at the time of the accident.
