Driver goes through two Greensboro homes

A driver crashed into a transformer and two Greensboro homes Sunday. Fire officials said the driver should be okay. The homes have some serious repairs to get done.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — One person is injured after a car crashed into two houses Sunday in Greensboro.

Greensboro Fire Department Deputy Chief Dwayne Church said the crash happened around 3 p.m. Sunday on Peach Orchard Drive. 

"I think I'm just in shock," said LaTasha Henry. 

Neighbors still can't believe a car drove through the two houses.

"When I got downstairs and looked over, there was a lady in my living room and she was screaming and asking for help."

Henry owns one of the two homes that were damaged. 

The driver of the car was taken to the hospital with only minor injuries. 

Luckily, no one else was injured.

Henry says she was just working to get back on her feet after her fiancée died suddenly earlier this year. 

"I do believe it was just an honest accident but of course my emotions took over because this year has just been really really trying. I really don't think I can take much more," said Henry. 

Investigators have not said what caused the woman to crash into the houses. 

According to the Greensboro Fire Department the woman also crashed into a power box, knocking out the lights for more than 100 homes in the area.

Causing many to soak up the last of the daylight outside like Marlene Bennett's family.

She's grateful no one was seriously hurt.

"We're probably going to camp out outside before it gets too too dark. and we're probably just kumbaya for the rest of the night," said Bennett. 

Henry also trying to find peace in a crazy situation says, she will be leaning on family over the coming days as she works to get her home repaired. 

"Homes can be replaced, cars can be replaced, lives cannot," said Henry.

The investigation is ongoing.

If you have any information about the crash, call Crime Stoppers at (336) 373-1000.
