A tragic accident in Will County revealed more than what some of the victims were bargaining for.

A 63-year-old woman in Lockport said her gas pedal stuck as she backed her 1995 Mercury Grand Marquis out of her driveway and into the home of Zachary Isenberg and Thomas Micucci. The two were on their couch playing video games when the woman 's car crashed through their home.

Isenberg was killed while Micucci managed to get out of the way. Here's where the story gets even more interesting. While Micucci was at the hospital, fire crews checking the home for other people found a locked door. When they broke it down they found 30 3-foot high marijuana plants. A search warrant later obtained by the Will County Gang Suppression Unit allegedly found lawyers cocaine, guns and money.

Micucci was arrested when he returned from the hospital and charged with production of cannabis and unauthorized possession of a firearm.
