Modesto homeowner says a car crashed into her home again, calls for change
A car crashed into a home in Modesto over the weekend, coming way too close for comfort for the family inside. Homeowner Denise Barzan said it happened on Saturday around 4 p.m. when a car sped off Briggsmore Avenue, plowed through the wood fence, crashed entirely through the garage and then went in reverse back out onto the street. "Again. It's happened again?" said Barzan. Barzan said it was about the tenth time a car crashed into the neighborhood off Briggsmore Avenue. Barzan shared photos of the driver's busted-up Jeep and the immediate aftermath. On Sunday, the garage was boarded up, but there was still a mangled mess of fencing, patio furniture, and even debris that flew on top of the roof. "They said it was really like something just out of a movie," said Barzan. Barzan said the home has been in her family for about 30 years, but the current tenants who live there have a little boy who usually plays inside the garage or on the patio. She is thankful no one was in these spots at the time of the crash. Modesto Fire responded to the crash and confirmed there were no injuries. "The real scary thing is, is that this tenant has a little boy, that garage is kind of a play area," said Barzan. "It just literally plowed right through that if he would have been home." Teodore Mendoza heard the booming crash from his home next door. "I hoped nobody died," said Mendoza. His home has a cement wall that a previous homeowner built behind it, but Mendoza said the city has raised concerns about how dangerous it could be if a driver were to hit the cement. "If this thing is not here, they are going to go into the house and I have my kids and wife in there, so it's either them or my family," Mendoza said. Barzan is brainstorming how she will build back her barricade better, but she does not want to find a solution alone this time. "There was one year that three times in one year that the fence had to be rebuilt in that exact location," said Barzan. She claims the city wasn't helpful after past crashes, but hopes this time it will be different. "I don't expect them to take care of our property, but they need to do something to make a little bit of effort to make this secure," Barzan said. The speed limit on the street is 50 miles per hour. She hopes her story will prevent the speedsters and protect the families who live in the homes only separated from the city road by an inconsistent stretch of fencing. CBS Sacramento reached out to the city and police to learn more about the crash and the history of accidents at the location. Neither immediately responded before this story was published.

GOP Sen. Markwayne Mullin, former MMA fighter, skips seat belts in DC over carjacking fears
Print Close By Alex Nitzberg Published August 14, 2025 Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma indicated that he does not wear a seat belt while driving in Washington, D.C., because he wouldn't want to be "stuck" in the event of a carjacking. "And by the way, I'm not joking when I say this: I drive around in Washington D.C. in my Jeep … and I don't buckle up," Mullin said. He made the comments during an appearance on the Wednesday episode of Fox News Channel's "The Ingraham Angle," which was guest hosted by Brian Kilmeade. GOP SENATOR WARNS DEMS DELAYING TRUMP NOMINEES 'WE CAN DO THIS THE EASY WAY OR HARD WAY' The senator explained that the reason he does not strap in while driving in D.C. is because of the possibility of carjacking — he does not want to be "stuck" in his vehicle if he needs to swiftly exit. "And I wear my seat belt all the time, but in Washington D.C., I do not because it is so prevalent of carjacking," he said. HARMEET DHILLON SAYS 'MALODOROUS HOMELESS PERSON' TRIED TO STEAL HER PHONE IN DC The lawmaker "is a former undefeated Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighter with a professional record of 5-0" and "was inducted into the Oklahoma Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2016," according to his Senate website.

GOP senator on DC carjacking fears: ‘I don't buckle up'
Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) on Wednesday expressed his fear of being carjacked in the nation's capital, as the Trump administration ramps up its federal takeover of local law enforcement. 'And by the way, I'm not joking when I say this, I drive around in Washington, D.C., in my Jeep, and yes, I do drive myself, and I don't buckle up. And the reason why I don't buckle up, and people can say whatever they want to, they can raise their eyebrows at me again, is because of carjacking,' Mullin said during an appearance on Fox News's 'The Ingraham Angle.' 'I don't want to be stuck in my vehicle when I need to exit in a hurry, because I got a seatbelt around me and that — and I wear my seatbelt all the time,' he told host Brian Kilmeade, in a clip highlighted by Mediaite. 'But in Washington, D.C., I do not, because it is so prevalent of carjacking,' the Oklahoma Republican continued. 'And I don't want the same thing [to] happen to me what's happened to a lot of people that work on the hill.' President Trump announced earlier this week that his administration was taking control of the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) and deployed hundreds of National Guard soldiers to the area to combat crime and violence in the city. The move, sparked after a former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) staffer was attacked by teenagers during a carjacking — has received heavy blowback from Democrats and local officials. A provision in Washington's ' Home Rule Act ' allows the president to federalize the police force for up to 30 days — but any additional time requires Congressional approval. During a speech Wednesday from the Kennedy Center, Trump said he will seek a 'long-term' extension. 'Well, if it's a national emergency, we can do it without Congress,' Trump said, when asked about whether he's talked to lawmakers about extending the takeover. He added that he expects meet with Congress 'very quickly' and snag GOP support. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) signaled in a post online Wednesday that he and fellow Sen. Katie Britt (R-Ala.) were working with the Trump administration on a safety package for the district. 'Together, we will try to shepherd the DC Security Fund through Congress to give President Trump the resources he will need to improve the safety and quality of life in our nation's capital,' he wrote on social platform X. 'Every American should be behind this effort to make Washington, DC clean and safe so that it can truly become the shining city on the hill.' For such a move to advance, however, it would likely need support from some Senate Democrats. Sen. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) made clear that his caucus would not back the measure. 'No f‑‑‑ing way,' he told podcast host Aaron Parnas. 'We'll fight him tooth and nail. … He needs to get Congress to approve it, and not only are we not going to approve it, but there are some Republicans who don't like either.' D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser has also pushed back on Trump's moves, calling them an 'authoritarian push' as data shows the crime rate declining in the nation's capital. The mayor has also used the national attention as a platform to reup the district's quest to gain statehood.
