(CBS DETROIT) – An 81-year-old Michigan woman crashed her car into a garage in Wayne County, hitting a man in the backyard of another home, police said.
On Monday at 2:38 p.m., Canton Police responded to Saltz Road and Redfern Street after receiving a report of an incident involving a vehicle and a pedestrian.
When police arrived, they learned that an 81-year-old Canton woman was driving a 2014 GMC Red GMC Acadia west on Saltz Road, toward Redfern, when her car veered off the road.
The car then crashed into the garage of a home and then drove into the backyard of another home, where it struck a 52-year-old Canton man.
The man was taken to a local hospital to be treated for serious, but non-life-threatening injuries.
According to police, the 81-year-old driver was also taken to a local hospital.
The investigation is ongoing, but authorities say alcohol does not appear to have played a role in the accident.
