Talent, Ore. — A woman is in the hospital after a car drove through her home.The call came in just after 4:00 this evening of an explosion. However, it turned out to be a car in to a house.
The Resident Manager of the park, Doyle Cornwell, heard the crash from a couple blocks away.
“We heard the car go by very fast and then a little while later we heard this noise — this bang. My wife said, ‘Sounds like somebody hit something’,” recounted Cornwell.
