The red Nissan SUV, stolen from Waterbury, was driving north on Meriden Avenue just before 9:30 p.m. Thursday when the car hit a guardrail and ricocheted off the road and into the corner of a home, Lt. Keith Egan said.

The driver of the car tried to run from the scene but was apprehended by police nearby on Carter Lane, Egan said.
