COOPERSBURG, Pa. – A house in Lehigh County has been hit not once, but twice by cars in just the past two months.

It’s a situation that has the family who lives there worried for their safety, and their expenses.

Outside Kristen Walter’s home in Coopersburg, you can see the damage, including pieces left behind from the car that crashed. She was home with her husband and three children Sunday night when it happened.

“All of a sudden we just heard a really loud boom on the side of the house. I was hopeful that my kids toppled something that they weren’t supposed to but came out and there was another car into the side of the house,” said Walter.

Another car, because sadly, this isn’t the first time. Her house was hit back in September as well.

“With the first accident, it actually took out the entire front porch here, along with some of the foundation needing to be re-poured,” said Walter. “And now we got hit again. I mean, on the plus side, it missed the new construction part. Downside is it hit the main house this time.”

She showed us some of the damage the main house suffered.

“We have the downspout completely crushed, and then we have, these are actually our solar wires, and so our solar wires are actually, we have exposed wiring,” said Walter.

So, she submitted another insurance claim, and she’s worried what that could mean in the long run.

“This is extremely frustrating. I mean at some point, we start getting dinged for making so many claims in a year,” said Walter.

Walter said she’s planning to reach out to PennDOT about steps to prevent crashes in the future.

“More signage, maybe some marking on the ground ahead, like slow ahead. Would be nice if we could get a guardrail maybe put in that they could soften the blow around if they do happen to have some issues navigating the turn,” said Walter.

But she also has a message to drivers.

“People just need to slow down, pay attention, put the cell phones down,” said Walter.

69 News did reach out to PennDOT. They said, in a situation like this, the homeowner needs to write to the Traffic Studies and Signing Manager for District 5 where the house is located and ask for road improvements.

PennDOT will conduct a study to see what can be done, and come up with possible solutions, but until then Walter is just hoping drivers pay better attention.
