Car crashes into house and flips near Crown Point, Indiana

The Lake County, Indiana, Sheriff's Office said a driver was hospitalized after a car crashed into a house and flipped over near Crown Point Wednesday evening.

Officials said just after 5 p.m., officers responded to a crash at 129th and Tyler just south of Crown Point. When they arrived they found a Hyundai Santa Fe SUV that had veered off the road, crashed into a house and rolled over.

The impact left a hole in the front of the home, police said. No one was home at the time.
