Vehicle crashes into Dunbar Township house
A Dunbar Township house sustained heavy damage and had to be condemned after a vehicle crashed into it last week.
State police said Katlyn M. Hall, 27, of Dunbar, was driving north on Leisenring-Vanderbilt Road near Vanderbilt shortly before midnight Friday when her vehicle hydroplaned in water and crossed the center line before leaving the roadway, state police said.
Hall’s car traveled about 100 feet through a yard and then crashed into a residence at 461 Leisenring-Vanderbilt Road, causing “severe structural damage” and forcing it to be condemned until it can be repaired, police said. Team 900, a structural support team, was called to the scene to help stabilize the house, police said.
Hall suffered severe injuries and had to be removed from the vehicle by first responders, police said. She was flown by medical helicopter to Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh, although her condition was not released.
State police were assisted at the scene by volunteer firefighters from DL&V, Dawson and Morrell fire departments, along with medics from Fayette EMS.
Hall, who police said was driving about 60 miles per hour just before the crash, was cited for careless driving, speeding and driving without a license and insurance.
