Ipswich Police Respond to Car into Building 

IPSWICH — Chief Paul Nikas reports that police responded to a Broadway Avenue home Tuesday morning after a Mini Cooper crashed through an exterior wall and came to rest inside.

At 11:38 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 29, police were called to 42 Broadway Ave. for a report of a motor vehicle that had crashed into a house. Upon arrival, police discovered a Mini Cooper had crashed into the lower level of the home after hitting a mailbox and driving over the front lawn.

The driver of the Mini Cooper, Nick Pappas of Ipswich, was trapped inside the car when police arrived. The first officers at the scene removed Pappas from the car and provided medical attention until an ambulance arrived.

The owner of the home was inside the house at the time of the crash but was not injured.

After an investigation into the incident by the Ipswich Police Department, Pappas is being charged with Suspicion of Operating Under the Influence of Drugs, Operating to Endanger, Possession of a Class C Substance, Speed Greater than Reasonable, and a Stop Sign Violation.

The Ipswich Fire Department and building inspector also responded to the scene, and the building was deemed structurally sound by the building inspector.
