Pickup Truck Crashes into Lansing Home

On Monday, August 27, a pickup truck crashed into a home on South Pennsylvania Avenue in Lansing, injuring the driver who was extricated from the vehicle and taken to the hospital. The crash damaged the house and struck a gas meter, causing a gas leak that firefighters managed to shut off. Gas was found inside the home, which was subsequently ventilated. Earlier, on August 26, another vehicle accident occurred near Lansing City Hall where a truck crashed into stone benches; the driver was hospitalized as a precaution but did not sustain serious injuries. Investigations into both incidents are ongoing. Pennsylvania Avenue remains closed in the vicinity of the home crash due to safety concerns related to the gas leak.
