A South Florida woman sound asleep in her bed suffered head injuries this morning when a stolen SUV slammed into her house, police say.
"I just felt something hit me in the head and debris. And I could taste it in my mouth," said Charlotte Bynes. "I jumped up and I didn't even look back ... I just ran out of the room in a panic and I still didn't know what was going on."
Bynes was taken to the hospital after flying debris cut her head. Doctors stapled shut the deep wounds and Bynes was able to return home. Bynes said her 16-year-old son Brandon slept through the whole thing even though debris landed on him too.
Police are trying to find out what led up to the crash. They have arrested a 15-year-old boy who they said stole the SUV from the South Florida Auto Auction.
Officers said they were not chasing the teen when he crashed, but some witnesses in the nieghborhood said they saw the SUV and a police cruiser skid on wet streets as they rounded a corner just before the crash. BSO is conducting an investigation into what happened.

They better check the tires. It might have several Honda cars stuck in the treads.
The nasty, mean-spirited SUV's MUST be stopped. Perhaps sKerry (who personally doesn't own any) can declare war on them. He did fight in Viet Nam you know.
At least this renegade SUV appears to have had a driver. Here in Houston, SUVs are apparently driving themselves and causing all kinds of havoc.
Damn those SUVs...people should have to have a license to drive those things.
Happened to my folks one night. A drunk decided to park his car in their bedroom. They woke up with headlights in their face. The drunk never realized how lucky he was when he ran off. My dad was a former golden gloves and navy boxer WWII navy vet and was a real bear when jarred awake in the middle of the night.
The woman likely provoked the SUV by teasing it.
It's those SUVs again. They should have been included on the AWB bill. Those engines that fire at up to 6,000 Rounds Per Minute! Or is that revolutions per minute? The Left will never know the difference. Too stoooopid.
When SUVs are outlawed, only outlaws will have SUVs.
"And I could taste it in my mouth,"
Did the evil SUV sexually assault the poor woman? These SUV's are getting out of hand now. No longer content to crush smaller cars and defenseless pedestrians, they are now breaking into womens bedrooms with evil intent. Lock them up. Lock them ALL up.
Just e-mailed it to Rush.
This is why I have a "Beware of Road Spikes" sign in my front window. SUV's don't even bother coming to the door.
Ouch. I've been hit in the debris before. Hurts like the dickens...
Better watch it pal, or Bush will conjure up a hurricane and come after you!
Yeah, but it doesn't say what they were wearing.
Talk about a rude awakening!
