A car crashed into a retaining wall and a home on Glen Road in Jamaica Plain Monday afternoon, leaving the vehicle wedged between an elevated parking lot and the house's walls as emergency crews worked to free the people trapped inside. Two occupants were pulled from the wreckage and placed in the care of EMS with minor injuries.
Police Confirm Afternoon Crash on Glen Road
According to NBC Boston, the crash happened around 3:07 p.m. on Glen Road. Boston police said officers responded to 28 Glen Road for a report of a motor vehicle accident into a house, as detailed by Boston 25 News. The station reported that two occupants were removed from the car and were being treated by EMS at the scene.
Per the same account, the scene remained active at the time of the report, with emergency crews still on site working the aftermath. Boston-based outlet WHDH also confirmed crews responded after the car crashed into the building, describing it as a developing story out of the neighborhood.
Vehicle Left Hanging Against the House
WCVB reported that the car ended up hanging between an elevated parking lot and the walls of the home at 28 Glen Road, with extensive damage done to the roof of the car and the home's windows. Both occupants had minor injuries and were placed in the care of EMS, Boston police said.
No information has been released about the driver's identity, what may have caused the crash, or the extent of damage to the structure itself, and those details were not available as of Monday afternoon.
Second Recent Jamaica Plain Crash Fatal
The Glen Road crash comes amid a string of serious vehicle incidents in Jamaica Plain. In a separate recent crash, a woman died and two people were injured when a vehicle struck the Belkin House building at Brigham and Women's Faulkner Hospital, according to WCVB. That crash prompted the evacuation of 32 people, including 17 patients and 15 staff members, after the SUV struck a gas line, though the hospital said its main facility remained open and operational while the Belkin House building was closed for repairs.
A separate fatal crash was also reported along the Arborway in Jamaica Plain, according to a WHDH report citing the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office, though further details on that incident were limited in available reporting.
