This morning around 0200 hours, Aberdeen officers were dispatched to an unknown injury collision in the 2100 block of Sumner Ave. It was reported that a Uhaul truck collided with a house in the area. Officers arrived on scene and it was determined there was another involved vehicle that was the at fault vehicle. The Uhaul swerved around the slow moving vehicle and went off the roadway. The driver of the at fault vehicle was taken into custody for DUI. No injuries were reported and all the occupants of the home were not injured.
