1 hurt after car slams into building in Collingdale
COLLINGDALE, Pa. - Authorities say two families are displaced after a car plowed into a two story home early Friday morning in Delaware County.
The collision happened on the 1000 block of Clifton Avenue just before 2 a.m.
Fire officials are not sure what caused the crash, but say an SUV driven by a woman first hit a telephone pole then slammed into the brick building.
A family was reportedly sleeping on the backside of the first floor and another family on the second floor.

Crews on scene report the woman was awake and aware when emergency responders arrived.
"She was up, it wasn't like the car was smoking or on fire, she was fine," a neighbor who helped the woman told FOX 29.
