One person was injured after a car struck a pole and then drove into a Mundelein house, leaving it uninhabitable Tuesday morning.
The Mundelein Police Department and Mundelein Fire Department responded around 2:21 a.m. Tuesday to the 500 block of East Maple Avenue for a report of a vehicle crash.
Mundelein Deputy Fire Chief Darren Brents said that firefighters arrived within four minutes and found a car into a house.
The passenger car had left the roadway and struck a utility pole before crashing into the single-family home.
Paramedics transported the driver of the vehicle to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville for treatment of minor injuries, Brents said.
No one else was inside the vehicle at the time of the crash and the homeowners, who were upstairs at the time of the crash, were not injured.
Due to the extensive damage, the home was left uninhabitable, Brents said.
The Mundelein Fire Department sent a fire engine, two ambulances and two command vehicles to the scene. The Libertyville Police Department assisted Mundelein police with traffic control.
The crash remains under investigation by the Mundelein Police Department.
