LYNN _ Homeowner Eleanor Torto said she didn’t even realize a car had crashed into her house when she heard a loud bang Wednesday night.She often hears crashes late at night from her house, which is located between Lynnfield Street and the Goodwin Traffic Circle, and initially didn’t think it was anything out of the ordinary.?I got up to go to the bathroom and that’s when I smelled the gasoline,” Torto said during an interview in her home this morning.The car crashed into the couple’s family room, throwing a desk across the room, shattering a mirror on the wall and causing a crack in the ceiling, but neither Torto nor her husband Philip Torto were injured.This was the second time a car has crashed into their home, the couple said.Police said the driver of the car fled the scene and the car’s owner later reported the car stolen.Asked if police believed the car was actually stolen, Police Lt. Christopher Kelly said, “That’s something we’re going to have to investigate.”Please read Friday’s Daily Item for complete coverage of the story.
