Three people were injured when an SUV crashed into a home in Alburtis Wednesday afternoon.
Mayor Kathleen Palmer said a woman was driving an SUV north on Franklin Street onto Main Street when her vehicle crashed into the home at 128 S. Main St. about 3:30 p.m.
The driver, along with a woman and child in the home, were injured and taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. No one else was in the vehicle at the time.
“They will all be OK,” Palmer said Thursday morning.
The Red Cross has been contacted to assist those displaced in the crash.
The mayor said neighbors “sprang into action,” the instant the vehicle struck the home. They checked to see if they needed to get people out, and to see if there were any gas leaks.
“They ran in there to get people out,” Palmer said.
Fire crews arrived shortly after.
“Our fire department was on scene so quickly, it was amazing,” the mayor said.
Main Street between Front Street and West Second Street will remain closed while police continue to investigate and borough officials assess the home’s stability.
Palmer said engineers will be meeting Thursday morning to asses if the building needs to be demolished or not.
