KENNER - Kenner Fire Chief John Hellmers says a driver crashed a car into the front of a fire station on Christmas, and was injured when his head went through the windshield.

Kenner police say 29-year-old Mario Perez, no local address, was treated at a hospital and then booked with drunk driving and with driving without a license, license plate or insurance. Lt. Wayne McInnis says Perez also had two arrest attachments from the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office.

Hellmers says the 6:15 a.m. accident disabled the fire stations' big front overhead doors, so the station is using the back door into the parking lot until repairs can be made. It was not immediately clear whether Perez had an attorney.
