Two people were hospitalized after a vehicle crashed into an Akron residence early Friday morning. The crash happened at 2:57 a.m. Oct. 2 at the intersection of Lindsay Avenue and Inman Street, when an Ohio State Highway Patrol trooper from the Akron Post located the vehicle at the scene.
The driver was not injured, but the passenger was transported to a hospital with minor injuries. Four people inside the home were treated at the scene, and one of the home’s occupants was taken to a hospital with serious injuries, according to the Highway Patrol’s news release.
Akron Police and Fire departments assisted at the scene, along with Kinney’s Towing, as investigators documented the damage to the residence. The force of the crash sent the vehicle into the house, prompting a full emergency response in the early-morning hours.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation. Officials have not said whether speed, impairment or other factors played a role, and the Highway Patrol said the investigation is ongoing.
