Crash Causes Car to Slam Into West Philadelphia Home

Two drivers were taken to the hospital in unknown conditions.

Two people were hurt after a collision between two vehicles at a West Philadelphia intersection crushed one car and caused the other to slam into a nearby home.

The two vehicles collided near the 6100 block of Ellsworth Street Sunday afternoon. The impact caused one vehicle to crash into a white truck in the street while the other vehicle, a red Toyota, traveled across a lawn before striking a home.

The drivers of both vehicles were taken to the hospital. Officials have not yet revealed their conditions. The homeowners were not in the house at the time of the crash.

β€œI just can’t even fathom the whole repair process and the displacement,” Beverly Johnson, a neighbor of the homeowners, told NBC10. β€œIt’s heartbreaking.”

L&I officials will determine if the home is still safe for the family to live there. Officials continue to investigate the crash.
