POWELL, Tenn. — Rural Metro Fire said a home in Powell was heavily damaged after a car crashed into it Monday night.

Rural Metro Public Information Officer Jeff Bagwell said crews responded to a home on Fieldstone Farm Lane at Weaver Road at 11 p.m. Crews found heavy damage to the home and it was structurally unsafe, Bagwell said.

Photographs from the scene show the car crashed into the back of the home. The side of the home where the car crashed appears to have collapsed.

Bagwell said the car was traveling on Weaver when it left the road and struck the house. He said the car was destroyed and the driver suffered what appeared to be minor injuries.

People were inside the home at the time of the crash but were safely outside when fire crews arrived, Bagwell said.
