Man Injured When Mother-In-Law Crashes Into Lake Worth Home

Posted on Jul 20, 2012

Mothers-in-law are the subject of many sitcom jokes and comedy skits. But sometimes real life is stranger than TV.

On Thursday, July 12, 33-year-old Huguens Lamande of Lake Worth was having a day like any other. At 10:15 a.m. he was sitting on his porch holding his 3-month-old daughter Imani. He watched his mother-in-law Gislaine Jules return from a trip to Wal-Mart. Since the yard had no driveway, Mrs. Jules attempted to park in the yard. However, instead of hitting the brake to stop, she accidentally hit the gas. The CRV crashed into Lamande and his daughter and pushed them through the front door of their home. Lamande’s leg was crushed and the baby sustained minor injuries.

A young girl in the home called 911. A neighbor heard the crash and came to help. Lamande was flown to Delray Medical Center. Baby Imani was taken to Bethesda Memorial Hospital where she was treated and released.

Forty-year-old Gislaine Jules was not injured. She has been cited for driving an unregistered vehicle and having no proof of insurance.

We’d like to offer our well wishes to the Lamande family.
