Person in hospital after vehicle crashes into Northwest El Paso home

EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) -- One person is in the hospital after a vehicle crashed into a home in Northwest El Paso Tuesday, according to the El Paso Fire Department.

According to the El Paso Fire, the crash happened at 1:12 p.m. near the intersection of Westwind Drive and Brisa Del Mar Drive.

The person sent to the hospital doesn't have life-threatening injuries, EPFD said.

ABC-7 spoke with a neighbor who helped out the driver of the truck that hit the home. Cindy Gomez lives next door and says that she heard a large crash and then smoke coming from the car.

"I ran over and one of the gentleman that was helping said, 'do you speak Spanish? Because he doesn't speak English, and I'm trying to get him not to move'," said Gomez. She said the driver was an elderly man and was disoriented.

"I don't know if he hurt his his neck, he was bleeding, so I tried to get him to calm down, not move, but he was a little disoriented and stuff."

Gomez said that accidents happen in this area often. Her family has seen them happen to themselves multiple times, and hopes that people will be more careful in the area.

"You see just a lot of running the stop signs and a lot of honks and there's been a bunch of crashes," said Gomez. "Just a couple of weeks ago, some guy was coming down really fast and hit two of our cars that were parked in front of the house and took off."
