A woman was transported to the hospital after authorities say she crashed her vehicle through the garage of a house, causing significant damage, in Huntley Wednesday evening.
The Huntley Fire Protection District and Huntley Police Department responded around 5:58 p.m. Wednesday to the 14000 block of Helena Road in Huntley for a report of a vehicle crash into a building.
Firefighters arrived within minutes and located a vehicle that had driven through a residential garage door, fire officials said.
The car had completely crashed through the door and then struck the exterior garage wall.
Fire officials said the crash resulted in significant structural damage.
The driver, an adult female, had exited the vehicle prior to the arrival of emergency crews.
She was transported to Northwestern Medicine Huntley Hospital with minor injuries, fire officials said.
The Village of Huntley Development Services Department was notified and responded to assess the structural integrity of the home.
The cause of the crash is under investigation by the Huntley Police Department.
The incident was the second crash just hours apart that the Huntley Fire Protection District responded to on Wednesday.
A three-vehicle crash resulted in one car rolling over and leaving two people trapped and seriously injured at West Algonquin Road and Square Barn Road in Algonquin.
