The truck rammed into her home, just feet away from the bed she was lying in with her 5-year-old son.
"We were laying in the bed and it was almost like you could feel the impact, even though we weren't hurt or anything like that," said Kimber. "It was very scary, very scary to be woken up like that. So I just grabbed my cell phone, grabbed my son and called 911."
But Kimber was too afraid to go outside until officers got to the scene. Police say she did the right thing.
"[I] stayed on the phone with them until the cops came and had him in handcuffs and then I came out," Kimber told News 9.
Officers arrested 32-year-old Brian Cline for driving under the Influence.
"I know he was drinking. I'm sure many people have done this, but I'm just glad he's ok," Kimber said.
Police say Cline refused to take a breathalyzer test.
