San Leandro Home Rocked after SUV Plows into its WallsAlameda County Fire Department

Early this morning, a high-intensity crash shocked a homeowner as an SUV barreled into his home on the 1500 block of 148th Avenue. According to CBS News San Francisco, the impact left the home's structure extensively damaged, rendering it uninhabitable. Thankfully, the resident inside was not injured in the collision, likely leaving some to wonder that the outcome could have been far worse.

As reported by KRON4, the Alameda County Fire Department responded to the incident at around 1 a.m., finding the sole occupant of the vehicle with moderate injuries. They worked swiftly to extricate the individual, who was then transported to an area hospital for treatment. At this time, authorities are still investigating the accident's cause and have not yet confirmed if intoxicants or narcotics played a part.

Considering the force of the crash, it's fortunate that no one within the residence was harmed. Nevertheless, the SUV did manage to clip the gas meter and electrical connection to the home, forcing the building to be red-tagged and deemed uninhabitable until proper repairs can be made, as emphasized in Patch.

While the resident has voluntarily relocated after the calamitous collision, PG&E crews had been called to the scene due to the SUV's proximity to the home's gas line. Thankfully there was no risk to the home or the surrounding neighborhood.

No charges are currently pending against the injured occupant found in the SUV, but with the investigation ongoing, the full story is yet to be uncovered.
