Last edited Wed Apr 3, 2013, 11:15 PM - Edit history (1)
DeKALB – A 22-year-old driver with a learner's permit mistook the gas pedal for the brake as she crashed through the Alpha Sigma Alpha sorority house about 6:50 p.m. Sunday, police said.
Saileela Puppala was driving west about a block away from her home when she crashed into the house at 1019 Ridge Drive, DeKalb Police Commander John Petragallo said.
"When she hit the gas pedal, it caused her to leave the roadway and strike the house," Petragallo said. "There was no sign of alcohol use."

Gas all my life. Never had that happen. I must be a lucky guy.
