1 injured after car crashes into house on Detroit's east side
(CBS DETROIT) - The Detroit Police Department is investigating after a car crashed into a house on the city's east side Monday morning.
Police say the incident happened at 8851 Charlevoix. Fire crews are still at the scene due to fears regarding the stability of the home.
In addition, police say there were two individuals inside the home who were not injured, but the driver was transported to a local hospital.
"All of the sudden I heard this big boom," said the homeowner, David Fishers.
Fishers, the owner of Euphoric Tree Forts, said he was standing in his living room when the Jeep Grand Cherokee crashed, missing him by just a couple of feet.
Fishers was in the middle of screen printing when the car crashed into the front of the home.
"I saw all these windows pop up," said Fishers.
Fishers lost his house and the place where he just started manufacturing his products.
His business is primarily direct-to-consumer, online and through social media.
"You don't think that your whole home is about to be destroyed," said Fishers. "Something you've work so hard for."
He bought the home during the COVID-19 pandemic and moved everything in less than a week ago.
Since the purchase, he invested roughly $100,000 into the property.
