Video shows contractors take action after woman drives into home, sets car on fire

Global News published this video item, entitled “Video shows contractors take action after woman drives into home, sets car on fire” – below is their description.

A 37-year-old Pickering woman is facing arson- and mischief-related charges after Durham Regional Police say a vehicle was rammed into a garage and a fire quickly spread to the home.

Adam West, a kitchen contractor working on Secord Street in Pickering’s west end close to the Rouge River, told reporters he was working about a dozen houses away at around 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday when he said he heard the car hit the garage.

He quickly began shooting video on his cellphone after the third strike and ultimately captured 23 minutes of the harrowing incident, posting it on YouTube.

“It was pretty wild actually,” West said, adding he began filming to ensure there was proper documentation of what was happening.

Sean O’Shea has the story.
