As the Centralia officer reached the top of the Sixth Street viaduct, he saw the car run two stop signs at intersections on Sixth Street.

Just west of Sixth and North Pearl, the driver lost control, went off the road and hit a home in the 300 block of Sixth Street, coming to rest in the home’s front yard.
