A driver crashed into a neighbor’s home in Wheaton causing significant damage to the house Wednesday afternoon.

According to Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service Spokesman Pete Piringer, the family living in the home off Loxford Terrace in Wheaton may be displaced from the home after a review of the damage by a building inspector. Piringer said no one was home at the time of the accident but a family dog was trapped and rescued by firefighters.
