Car crashes into Everett house after accident during rainstorm

EVERETT — Hail and heavy rain on Monday afternoon contributed to an accident that sent a car crashing into a house porch.

A driver found her windshield wipers not working when a rainstorm hit about 3 p.m. and ran a stop sign at Maple Street and 16th Street, Everett Fire Department Battalion Chief Steve Parker said.

Her vehicle struck another car and pushed it into a porch of a nearby house. Nobody was seriously hurt.
