An early morning crash in Westmoreland County ended with a vehicle embedded in the front of a Derry Township home this morning, moments after the driver collided with a deer on Route 22. The incident unfolded just after the clock struck 5 a.m. near Horsemans Road, according to State police, who confirmed that one person was injured as a result of the accident.
The chain of events detailed by a fire chief on the scene to WPXI tells of how the car first struck a deer, then veered off the road and hit an SUV. The SUV was pushed about 10 feet into another SUV before culminating its destructive path into a home's facade, a home where a husband and wife resided. Fortunately, neither was injured in the tumult.
Further information gathered from WTAE indicates that the incident occurred slightly earlier than 5:30 a.m., pinpointing the location on the 9700 block of Route 22. The driver involved was transported to the hospital, and officials did not report any injuries to the house occupants.
