Vehicle smashes townhouse Tues. afternoon

AURORA | A vehicle crashed into a townhouse Tuesday near East Yale Avenue and South Peoria Street, police said, severing a gas line and forcing police to briefly close area streets. 

The crash happened around 3:10 p.m., said Lt. Chuck DeShazer, a spokesman for the Aurora police traffic section. Only the driver was injured and they sustained minor injuries, DeShazer said. 

The crash broke a gas line inside the townhouse and police blocked off area traffic for about 15 minutes before the scene was under control, DeSHazer said. 

Details including the driver’s gender and the type of vehicle involved were not immediately available Tuesday afternoon. 

It wasn’t immediately clear why the driver crashed into the home, DeShazer said, and the crash remains under investigation.
