Suffolk police charged a West Babylon man with driving while intoxicated after he crashed an SUV into a neighbor’s house Tuesday night.
Thomas Keane, 64, was backing out a 2011 GMC Yukon SUV from the driveway of his Justice Street home about 9:20 p.m. when he crashed into a vehicle parked across the street, police said.
The GMC then careened into the house across from Keane’s, also on Justice Street. No passengers were in the car at the time, police said.
The residents of the home, an adult man and three children, were evacuated. No one was injured, police said.
