Car Careens Into Westchester House On Muscoot River Road

SOMERS, NY — It looks like the driver who crashed into a house on Muscoot River Road will be okay, but building inspectors will have to decide if the house under construction is safe.

Just before 12:30 p.m.on Wednesday, Somers Fire and EMS were called to the house where a car had crashed through the exterior walls. The first units arrived on the scene to not only confirm that a car went into a house, but also that the house was luckily still under construction, and not occupied.

The driver was treated and removed from the car with injuries described as "non-life-threatening."

Somers EMS took the patient to a local hospital. Somers Fire units turned the scene over to the Building Department to determine if the house was still safe.

Somers fire officials said the incident highlights the need for volunteer first responders to step up for their neighbors.

"The Somers Volunteer Fire Department responded to about 15 calls for service yesterday, and multiple calls at the same time," SVFD said in a statement on social media. "We are always looking for more volunteers. If you’re interested in helping your community, sign up on our website today."
