Two families displaced after car crashes into Montgomery County home

Let's move now to a developing story out of Wheaton, Maryland, where a car crashed into a townhome, displacing two families. Fox 5's Shamari Stone is at the scene now with the very latest on that investigation. Tonight this was incredibly scary for the driver of this luxury BMW SUV and the people who were inside the townhouse when he slammed into it. Take a look at this front end damage. Debris right here. You can see the grille, it's dented. Now you're asking yourself what exactly happened. Well the driver may have got confused between the brake and the accelerator, jumping this curb and then coming right into the front lawn right here. Missing this bush, slamming right into the kitchen. Take a look at all of this damage. This was brick. You can see it collapsed on the ground there. You have shattered glass. And this is the kitchen in there. You got the stove. And the homeowner, thankfully, he and his wife were not inside of the kitchen. In fact, they were on the other side of the house. But they heard that loud impact, and it definitely scared them. Now, before we continue, let me show you this. There are crews who are going to take this plywood and they're going to come right over here, Jesse Burkett Hall, and show them they're going to have to replace that wall right there and put that over it while crews try to figure out what to do next. Montgomery County fire officials say they responded to the crash around 445 this afternoon. When the firefighters arrived, they found that BMW SUV had hit the building, causing damage to the structure. The two people inside the SUV, the husband and wife. They're okay. They were definitely shaken up. Neither was hurt. No injuries were also reported for the couple who lives inside of the townhouse. Fire officials say the impact may have, however, affected the load-bearing parts of the building, the actual structure, the stability. Montgomery County code enforcement officials have been called out to assess the damage and determine whether the home is safe. For residents to return right now, there is no timeline for when the residents will be allowed back inside. Fire officials say there's no indication of suspicious circumstances or unsafe driving. They're trying to figure out what exactly caused this. And as of tonight, this appears to be an accident. And what's interesting is that the couple who lives here and the driver who slammed into their house. They've been friends for over 20 years, so they're actually talking to each other, trying to figure out what to do, and the couple who lives here also tells me that they do have homeowner's insurance, so they're trying to sort everything out. The good news, no one was hurt. In Wheaton, I'm Shamari Stone, back to you.
