Jeep Crashes Into Occupied Cary Home, Residents Displaced

The county has barred re-occupancy pending repairs during an active sheriff's investigation.

Overview

  • A black Jeep struck the front of a house in unincorporated Cary on Monday evening and became lodged in the structure while three people inside were able to exit with no reported injuries.
  • Two people from the vehicle were evaluated by paramedics at the scene for minor injuries and declined transport to a hospital.
  • McHenry County inspectors and the Department of Planning and Development were called to assess structural damage and a board-up company was requested to secure the home.
  • Officials declared the residence unsafe to occupy and the American Red Cross is assisting four displaced residents with temporary housing and immediate needs.
  • The McHenry County Sheriff's Office is investigating the crash and has not released any findings about cause, fault, speed, seat-belt use, or whether charges will be filed, and the home's re-entry will depend on follow-up inspections and repairs.
