An East Chattanooga home sustained damage when the residential structure was struck by a vehicle Saturday night. At 6:33 PM on 1/4/25, Green Shift companies were dispatched to the 2600 block of Waterhaven Drive on initial reports of an explosion. CPD, CFD and Hamilton County EMS responded and found that a car hit a house, going through a portion of a front bedroom and into the garage. The elderly driver of the vehicle was entrapped and had to be cut out of the car by firefighters. He was transported to the hospital with unknown injuries. A babysitter and three small children were in the house at the time of this incident. They were not injured. A building inspector was called to the scene to examine the damage. Firefighters shored up one area to stabilize the structure, secured the house as much as possible and then turned it over the homeowners. Engine 6, Engine 4, Squad 1, Squad 19, Squad 7, Ladder 7, Engine 10, Battalion 2 and Battalion 3 responded.
