(Hinton) — Authorities were called to 1523 Mercury Drive in Hinton last night to investigate a vehicle hitting a home.  32 year old Emily Beschorner of Hinton, was driving her Honda Pilot to her residence at the end of a cul-de-sac when she became disoriented as she approached the driveway of her residence.  Beschorner apparently accelerated and ran the vehicle through the northeast corner of the attached garage causing the east wall to detach from the garage.  Beschorner was not trapped in the vehicle.  She was transported to St. Luke’s Unity Point Hospital in Sioux City by the Hinton Ambulance with minor injuries, and possible other medical issues.  The Hinton Fire and Rescue Department was dispatched to the scene, where they used temporary jacks to hold up the corner of the home, and to make it safe.  The vehicle sustained approximately $8,000 in damage, and the garage and house sustained approximately $10,000 in damages.  The house is owned by Mike Klemmensen. No citations were issued in this incident.  Assisting at the scene were the Hinton Fire and Rescue Department, Hinton Ambulance, Merrill Police, and MidAmerican Energy.  The Plymouth County Sheriff’s Office is handling the investigation.
