A Centerville neighborhood is rattled after an out-of-control car nearly ran a woman over and then crashed onto a hillside, starting a fire.

It is the same street where a man broke into a home and set it on fire last month.

Police responded to the crash and subsequent fire near 350 East 1800 North just before 5 p.m. Tuesday.

According to police, the driver, identified as Benjamin Wight, 46, of Centerville admitted he stole a cannister of compressed air and inhaled it just prior to the crash.

Wight drove his Acura SUV up the the hill, narrowly missing a woman who was unloading groceries, police said. The SUV struck a parked truck and then went up a hill and ignited a grass fire.

Several neighbors ran out with fire extinguishers and were able to get the fire under control before firefighters arrived.

Two neighbors told police they believed Wight had intentionally swerved at them.

“I don’t know how you accelerate towards a person while your making face to face contact with them and it not be intentional," neighbor Randi Stephens told KUTV. “I screamed and told my child to call 911 and grab fire extinguishers because the whole hill was on fire.”

The incident occurs near the same Centerville home where an assault suspect broke into and set fire to a home. Centerville Police said there is no connection between Tuesday's incident and the home invasion.

Stephens and her family were displaced by the fire at their neighbor's home. Neighbors started a fundraising campaign the help the Stephens with the damage to their home.

“The irony of all of it, I don’t understand it. I’m speechless, I don’t understand our luck right now," Stephens said. “I’m hoping this is the last of it, we’re going to be saying prayers.”
