KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) - “All we can say is, WOW!” is how Rural Metro reacted when no one was injured after a car crashed into a Powell home.

It happened around 11 p.m., according to Rural Metro, when crews were sent to the home. A news release from the agency said the house was structurally unsafe.

"The vehicle was also destroyed but somehow the driver sustained only what appeared to be minor injuries,“ Rural Metro said. ”There were occupants inside the home, and they were safely outside when fire crews arrived."

The Tennessee Highway Patrol and Knox County Sheriff’s Office is investigating.
