Buchanan, Tenn.–The driver was airlifted to an area hospital after his Jeep struck a house last night in Buchanan.
According to Paris Landing Fire Chief Reggie Coles, the Jeep came to a stop completely inside the residence, but luckily no one was home in the house.
At 6 pm Thursday night, the Paris Landing Volunteer Fire Department, Henry County EMS, Henry County Sheriff’s officers and Tennessee Highway Patrol were dispatched to 25 Upchurch Drive in Buchanan, on a report of a vehicle that had struck a house.
Coles told RadioNWTN that arriving fire units found a large hole in the carport wall of the residence with a red Jeep completely inside the residence.
The vehicle appeared to have left the road striking a utility pole before coming to a stop inside the residence. The unidentified male driver was transported by EMS to Henry County Medical Center and later airlifted to another hospital.
