News4’s Shomari Stone has the latest on a car that crashed into a Montgomery County home, just missing the resident.
Two people were injured after their car crashed into a Montgomery County townhouse Tuesday afternoon, narrowly missing a woman who was home sitting on her sofa.
"All of a sudden there was the car, about two feet from me and about 10 feet inside my house," said homeowner Reenie Parris.
It happened around 1 p.m. in the 9900 block of Ridgeline Drive in Gaithersburg.
Montgomery County Fire officials said the driver was trapped and had to be rescued. He suffered serious injuries. His passenger was also hurt.
Parris, along with her dog, escaped unharmed.
Officials have not determined what caused the driver to lose control.
There is significant structural damage to the townhouse. A building inspector says the home is "unsafe to occupy."
