Emergency personnel responded shortly before 12:50 a.m. Sunday after a car crashed into the front of a residence in the 100 block of South Moore Street at the T intersection with West Mill Street in Waterloo.

The driver of a white Subaru sedan, a New Athens man in his 30s, was transported by Monroe County EMS to an area hospital for treatment of injuries not considered life-threatening.

Witnesses on scene said the car was traveling at a high rate of speed on West Mill Street before impacting the house.

Fortunately, two people inside the residence – which is owned by Dawn Schell – were in other areas of the structure at the time of the crash and reported no injuries.

Police said charges are pending in the incident.
