A driver was arrested Wednesday morning after crashing into a congregate care facility in Brooklyn Park, forcing residents to evacuate.
Brooklyn Park police say the vehicle ran off the road at the intersection of 76th and Regent Avenues and into the bedroom of the home just after 3 a.m.
In addition to putting a large hole in the building, the crash also caused a gas leak, which forced all residents in the facility to evacuate, police say.
Fire crews and CenterPoint Energy worked to shut off the natural gas until the damage can be repaired.
5 EYEWITNESS NEWS crews saw construction workers already at the building later Wednesday morning.
One resident and the driver of the vehicle were each treated for minor injuries, according to police.
The driver was then arrested.
5 EYEWITNESS NEWS has reached out to police and the company that operates the care facility for more information. This story will be updated as additional details are confirmed.
