A two-car collision caused a vehicle to crash into a house overnight in Brockton, Massachusetts, leaving the home with significant damage.

Brockton police said a Subaru SUV was traveling east on Centre Street when a Honda Accord pulled out of a side street and struck the first car, causing it to crash into the home.

The driver of the Subaru, identified as a 50-year-old woman, was taken to Brockton Hospital to be evaluated. The driver of the Honda, a 35-year-old man, did not suffer injuries.

Video of the scene showed debris scattered near the site of the crash and the Subaru wedged into an enclosed porch on the side of the house. Multiple firefighters respond to the scene before the vehicle was removed by a tow truck. The Subaru endured heavy damage to its front.

Four people were in the home at the time of the crash but were not injured, according to firefighters. Authorities did not announce any charges.

It was the second time this week a car slammed into a building in Brockton. On Tuesday, a vehicle crashed into a convenience store near Belmont Street.
