LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Two adults were arrested and are facing charges after an early-morning crash caused a house to catch fire Thursday, June 13.
Police said the crash started when officers heard gunshots on Cecil Ave. while patrolling the neighborhood. Officers followed a car they saw speeding away, chasing it until it crashed into a vacant home under renovations on the 200 block of Northwestern Parkway, in the Shawnee neighborhood.
Both the car and the home caught fire. The woman driving the car and a male passenger were transported to the hospital with no life-threatening injuries. Police said the people at the home where they believed shots were fired from are not injured.
The fire was quickly put out before it could spread any further.
Twenty-one-year-old Kamizja Dandridge and 29-year-old Khire Slaughter are charged with wanton endangerment, fleeing and evading, and criminal mischief. There was a third passenger in the car, a juvenile, who was cited and released for carrying a concealed deadly weapon.
