BONNEAU, SC (WCSC) -
Police say a Moncks Corner man crashed through three fences and damaged church grounds in Bonneau, and now Bonneau's police chief is calling for safety improvements on that stretch of road.
When he bought his home a few months ago, Steven Fort had no idea he would be dealing with fixing fences.
Police say Fort's house is located right around a curve that speeding cars can't handle.
Two weekends ago someone drove into one of his fences. A tree stump stopped the car from going through it.
Early Sunday morning, while Fort was out at Bonneau Beach it happened again. This time, the car plowed through it.
"I'm telling you, I couldn't believe it when I walked out here and I was amazed. This can't be again and then realized he went all the way through the yard and I was really blown away, Fort said.
Police say the driver, 38-year-old Kevin Davis was driving drunk and kept on going.
Cops say Davis plowed through a chain link fence and a third fence on Fort's property, then crossed the road and did damage to some church grounds.
Bonneau's police chief says it could have been worse.

LAWTON, Okla._A woman was injured after she drove off a busy Lawton road, through a fence and into a backyard.
This incident has two families saying "not again" as a car came flying off Rogers Lane only to a stop a few feet away from a home.
"There's a car in the backyard, we come in and trees are down, fence is down," said Sue Easterly after the car drove through her backyard.
Its a car accident that has neighbors along Rolando Drive in disbelief, even tears, thinking about "what if" as crews work in rainy conditions to remove a car from a backyard that veered off Rogers Lane.
"If today wasn't a rainy day, it's summertime, my girls would have been outside playing and who knows," said Easterly.
The black Mercedes first drove through Easterly's wooden fence, coming to a stop just feet away from her neighbor's home.
"I want to say about three feet from actually hitting the brick. I came home from work and I saw the car, I mean, just so close, it made me feel uneasy," said Kristen Hull whose backyard is where the car came to a stop.
More than a dozen homes between 67th and 78th streets are protected by a brick wall, but at the brick wall stops at 78th Street and because of the lack of protection, cars have driven through the fence. Neighbors say this isn't the first time either.
"Last year, came probably ten or fifteen feet away from my bedroom while I was in bed," said Hull.
"There are only three houses here, why can't we have a wall here too," said Easterly.

A new set of elaborate wildlife crossings under Highway 89 east of Kanab in southern Utah has reduced vehicle collisions with deer.
John Hollenhorst, Deseret News
KANAB After a round-trip migration by several thousand deer, a new set of elaborate wildlife crossings under a highway in southern Utah is being labeled a qualified success.
But the experiment has not been without problems both animal and human in nature.
Last year, a partnership of government agencies built 12 miles of fencing and large wildlife underpasses to reduce vehicle collisions with deer on U.S. 89 east of Kanab in Kane County.
"I think the general perception is that it has been successful," said Kevin Kitchen, a spokesman for the Utah Department of Transportation.
Vehicle collisions with deer have been reduced substantially since deer began migrating under the highway instead of across it, Kitchen said.
The system of fences and underpasses is one of several designs being tried across the country as states try to reduce the costs of such accidents in dollars and deaths of deer and humans.
Surveillance images show that deer are sometimes skittish as they approach the underpasses, but most will eventually walk under the highway.
"The behavior of the animals is one of the things we really have to look at as we take a look at the design of these structures and fences and the different types of crossings," Kitchen said.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -
A man has been charged with driving under the influence and vandalism after he allegedly drove through multiple yards and two fences ineast Nashville early Monday morning.

Police said Gutierrezperformed poorly on field sobriety tests and told themhe dranksix beers.
Gutierrezwas given a breathalyzer test once he was booked into jail and blew a .233, which is almost three times the legal limit.

The vehicle was towed to an impound lot.
Gutierrezwas also charged with not having a drivers license and leaving the scene of an accident after causing property damage.
