A house in Henry County had to be demolished after a semi somehow crashed into it Tuesday.
Police and Fire in Kewanee say the crash happened just after 2:00 p.m. on a portion of East Second Street that’s also part of U.S. 34.
Officials say the semi in question travelled through the front yard of one home, struck the corner of a neighboring residence, before continuing and hitting a second house and stopping.
A person in the first home wasn’t hurt, and the truck caused some siding and foundation damage.
The second home wasn’t occupied but was being remodeled. It eventually had to be demolished.
Police and Fire say the semi driver was taken to a Kewanee hospital before being airlifted to Peoria. A condition report isn’t available.
Authorities are still investigating just what caused the crashes.
