No one was injured after a vehicle hit a house in Woodstock, causing a temporary evacuation of two residences due to a gas leak, fire officials said.
Woodstock Fire/Rescue District first responders were called to the 2300 block of Aspen Drive for a reported vehicle into a residence with possible entrapment at 2:47 p.m. on Saturday, said Woodstock Fire/Rescue Public Information Officer Alex Vucha.
Crews arrived within minutes, Vucha said, and found that a vehicle had struck the garage of a single-story duplex, causing moderate to heavy damage to both the vehicle and the structure.
A natural gas meter was also damaged, creating an active gas leak in the area, Vucha said.
The adult female driver was out of the vehicle before the arrival of fire crews, Vucha said. She was evaluated by paramedics at the scene but declined further treatment or transport to a hospital.
Firefighters secured the damaged natural gas meter until Nicor Gas arrived and completed a full assessment, Vucha said.
Representatives from the City of Woodstock Building & Zoning Department were also requested due to the structural damage.
As a precaution, the adjoining unit was temporarily evacuated while the gas leak was addressed, Vucha said.
The residence remains habitable while repairs are being made, Vucha said.
No additional injuries were reported.
The Woodstock Police Department continues to investigate the crash, Vucha said.
