Vehicle Rams Into Apartments Injures 1
Charlotte NC – A vehicle with three occupants crashed into one apartment building, flipped, crashed and came to rest alongside a second building seriously injuring one of the passengers in the vehicle.
Firefighters received the call for service on Monday, November 14th at 7:35 PM and arrived just a few minutes later to observe a mid-sized SUV that had came to rest on its side after crashing into two apartment buildings. The vehicle and the buildings sustained significant damage. Firefighters and bystanders said the scene resembled a war zone.
Heavy Rescue and Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) crews worked tirelessly to stabilize structural components of the two buildings, while one of the three persons riding in the vehicle was treated for serious injuries. The patient was promptly packaged and transported to Carolinas Medical Center as a priority patient.
Six apartments were affected by the crash and the occupants displaced. The Red Cross was summoned to the scene and assisted the occupants with procuring temporary housing. Damage was estimated at $75,000.
