BETHEL TWP., Clark Co. —

A woman is suspected of driving under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol when she crashed into a porch on West Jefferson Street late Thursday night, deputies said.

Sheriff’s deputies responded to a residence in the 600 block of West Jefferson around 9:15 p.m. on reports of a vehicle striking a house. When authorities arrived they found the vehicle smashed into the porch area of the home, deputies said.
