The car hit the home in the 2900 block of 19th Street at about 10:10 p.m. last night. When officers arrived they found the driver and passenger, both unconscious with blue lips and labored breathing. After doses of Narcan, the driver 21-year-old Dillon M. Goff and passenger 21-year-old Samantha D. Artis regained consciousness, says Lt. Matt Harris, spokesman for the Columbus Police Department.
