A man is believed to have suffered a medical emergency when he crashed into an Algonquin home and suffered injuries Wednesday afternoon, officials said.
The Algonquin Police Department and the Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Fire Protection District responded to a call shortly after 5 p.m. Wednesday to a residence near Compton Drive and Mahogany Court for a reported car crash.
Officers determined a Ford pickup truck was traveling east on Compton Drive when it left the road and struck the front of a home on Mahogany Court, according to an Algonquin Police Department news release.
The driver, a 26-year-old Algonquin man, was the sole occupant of the car. He suffered injuries that are believed not to be life-threatening and was taken to Northwestern Medicine Huntley Hospital. Residents of the home were inside at the time but were not injured, according to the release.
Officials believe a “medical episode” contributed to the crash, and there is no indication of alcohol or drugs being a factor.
The crash remains under investigation by the Algonquin Police Department.
