Man hospitalized after being trapped when stolen car crashes into Harrison Twp. home

HARRISON TWP. — A man is hospitalized after being trapped under a stolen car when it crashed into a Harrison Township early Friday morning.

News Center 7′s Taylor Robertson reported on this breaking news during News Center 7′s Daybreak.

Deputies and medics were dispatched at 2:54 a.m. on initial reports of a vehicle into a house, according to the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office.

Upon arrival, deputies found that a white Kia Forte was traveling westbound on W. Hillcrest Avenue and lost control after coming over a hill.

It went through the yard on the north side of the road and drove into the house’s front door.

The car landed on a man lying on the couch inside the house.

He was conscious when he was extricated by Harrison Township firefighters.

Robertson noticed that the car was removed from the scene and had heavy front-end damage.

In a 911 call obtained by News Center 7, a female caller described to dispatchers what she saw happened.

“A car just flew into my house! My husband is under it!” she said. “He was on the couch and the car is on top of him!”

She also told dispatchers that the driver ran from the scene.

We will continue to provide updates on the developing story.
