BOSTON — Two individuals were rescued after their vehicle crashed into a home in Jamaica Plain on Monday afternoon.
According to Boston Police, the incident occurred at approximately 2:30 p.m. The car became lodged between an elevated parking lot and the structure located at 28 Glen Road.
Boston Fire District Chief reported that the vehicle was positioned about 10 feet above ground level within the home. Both occupants of the car sustained minor injuries and were treated at the scene; no injuries were reported for those inside the residence.
Witnesses at the scene described hearing a loud noise upon impact. “I thought it was a construction crew or something,” said resident Ariel Torres. Robert Royals, another witness, noted that the driver appeared to have lost control, driving through the parking lot and into the house.
Sky5 footage revealed significant damage to both the car and the home. The vehicle was removed shortly after the crash, and authorities are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident. Early indications suggest that speed may have contributed, with Deputy Chief Michael Doherty stating, “We believe the guy's foot got caught on the accelerator.”
There are no further updates regarding the investigation at this time.
