Jeep crashes into townhouse, injuring three
Three people have been hospitalized as a result of a Jeep crashing into a Houston townhouse. The driver of the Jeep, a 25-year-old man, lost control of his vehicle and jumped the curb in front of the townhouse. The Jeep first struck a satellite dish pole and then a tree before finally flipping and rolling into the home.
The Jeep crashed through a bedroom wall, where Betty McCurdy, who resides in the townhouse, had just gone to sleep. The impact from the crash knocked her to the floor. McCurdy says she looked up to see the Jeep headed right at her. The vehicle entered the room backwards.
McCurdy, who was suffering back pain, was taken to a hospital as a precautionary measure. A second woman who resides in the townhouse was taken to the hospital because of chest pains.
The driver of the Jeep sustained a skull fracture, as well as other serious injuries. He was taken to a hospital by Life Flight.
The precise cause of the accident is still under investigation. Police are looking into whether alcohol or speed could have been a contributing factor.
