A car traveling west on 109th Avenue east of 64th Street in Casco Township left the roadway Thursday night, crossed a home's driveway, and slammed into its attached garage. Despite the violent impact, both the driver and the people inside the house walked away unharmed.
The crash unfolded as the vehicle was heading west on 109th Avenue when it left the road, went over the driveway, and struck the garage, according to MLive. The outlet reports that neither the driver nor anyone inside the home was injured in the collision.
Separately, ABC57 reports that the westbound vehicle traveled several hundred feet off the roadway before it continued over the driveway and struck the home's attached garage. That account underscores just how far the car veered before coming to rest against the structure.
Emergency Crews Check the Garage's Stability
With the garage bearing the brunt of the impact, South Haven Area Emergency Services personnel responded to the scene to evaluate its structural integrity, the same MLive report notes. The crash happened Thursday night, and FOX 17 West Michigan News reported having a crew at the scene working to learn more about what happened.
Beyond the confirmed details of the crash's path and the absence of injuries, key questions remain unanswered in the reporting so far, including what caused the car to leave the roadway in the first place. For now, officials and residents alike are left with a damaged garage and a retelling of just how close the incident came to a far worse outcome.
