A Pinal County driver suffered life-threatening injuries early Saturday morning after their Jeep rolled off the roadway and crashed into a home in Eloy, Arizona. The driver was flown to a trauma center, and the cause of the crash remains under investigation.
Eloy Fire District crews arrived to find the vehicle lodged sideways against the side of the house, according to AZ Family. Firefighters worked to stabilize the Jeep before extricating the driver, who was then flown to a trauma center with life-threatening injuries. Officials have not specified the exact address where the crash occurred, only that it happened in Eloy.
Home Held Up, Residents Unharmed
Despite the force of the impact, the people inside the home were not injured, and the structure itself was deemed stable, the outlet reported. No further details have been released about the extent of the driver's injuries following transport, or about what led the Jeep to leave the roadway in the first place.
The crash adds to a string of recent wrecks around Eloy. A separate rollover on Interstate 10 near mile post 211 prompted an Eloy Fire District response in the early morning hours of April 7, per kvoa.com. In that incident, one patient suffered life-threatening injuries and was airlifted to a trauma center, and the station reported the cause of that crash was also under investigation.
Pattern of Serious Wrecks in the Area
Eloy has seen other serious collisions in recent months. A two-vehicle crash on a Thursday afternoon at Frontier Street and Toltec Road sent four occupants to the hospital, according to pinalcentral.com. No additional details connecting that wreck to Saturday's home-impact crash have been released.
Investigators have not yet determined what caused the Jeep to leave the road and strike the house. As with the earlier I-10 rollover, authorities have given no timeline for when the investigation into Saturday's crash might conclude.
