Indianapolis, IN – A car crash caused major damage to an Indianapolis apartment Saturday afternoon after a vehicle plowed through the structure on the 2000 block of Amherst Drive. According to the Indianapolis Fire Department (IFD), no one was injured in the incident.
Witnesses told investigators the car had traveled nearly 500 yards from its origin point, speeding through multiple lots, bushes, and a wooden fence before striking the apartment. The driver, who remained on scene, was evaluated but not seriously hurt.
According to IFD, the apartment’s resident was not home at the time of the crash. Fire crews arrived to find the SUV embedded inside the building, prompting a call for the department’s Collapse Rescue Team. Specialized crews used vertical shoring posts to stabilize the damaged structure once the vehicle was removed.
The occupant of the apartment is now working with property management to secure temporary shelter. The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) is currently investigating what caused the driver to lose control.
