It was easy for Kimberly Freeman to recall the day she was awakened at 2 a.m. by a loud crash.  It was Sept. 5, her birthday.

But when she looked out her window, she didn’t see anything resembling a gift. Instead she saw a black Audi A6 that had crashed right through a stone wall that separates her back yard from a curve where West Evergreen Avenue turns into Navajo Street.

“The car was halfway in my yard,” Freeman said. “I called 911 right away… I was sure whoever was driving was injured.”
