A Dauphin County family is left with a big hole in their house, again for the third time in four years. A drunk driver has driven right through their living room.
The family says they're not moving and are asking the township to do more than just put up the signs that are there.
Cars drive down this Old Nyes Road, and many don't stop at the stop sign or obey the turn sign that the township installed. But the real issue is when drunk drivers continue past the stop sign and into the house across the intersection.
"I was asleep on the couch and I just heard a bunch of loud thrashing and all of the sudden my wall clock flew off my living room wall," explained Richard Canulli.
On August 9, Richard Canulli and his family had a very rude awakening.
"When I came out the front door I realized my staircase was missing and there was a vehicle under my deck," Canulli recalled.
When some people drive this street, they don't stop at the stop sign, they just keep going.
"This is the third time since 2008 that a vehicle has gone into my residence," Canulli told CBS 21.
Drivers running the stop sign have caused 13 accidents since 1999 and over $100,000 in damages.
"If I have to I'd be willing to move my driveway to take it out of the path, that's going to cost me $7,000," Canulli showed.
While moving the driveway would stop some drivers, the family believes drunk drivers are the problem.
"They don't stop at the stop sign,” a frustrated Canulli continued. “I've gone to the township and I’ve asked for rumble strips to try and give them some sort of warning system where it will at least wake you up a little bit or make you coherent that some thing is coming up."
The house has been in the family since 1965, and they say moving is not an option.
"Is that what it's going to take? Somebody getting killed?" question Canulli.
The Canulli's are hoping that the township can install flashing lights into the stop sign or put in rumble strips.
"I'd just like a little bit of help, that's all,” concluded Canulli. “Take into consideration some things that will actually work."
The Canulli family says that they are planning to go to the next township meeting to ask for a solution to keep people from causing more damage to their home.
