EUGENE, Ore. -- An SUV crashed through a fence and into a house with three people inside Wednesday afternoon. No one was injured.

Nextdoor neighbor Richard Martin said he saw the SUV leave the parking lot of the Dari Mart on Game Farm Road, then accelerate and crash through a fence and then through the rear righthand corner of the house.

Martin said he ran to the SUV and found the driver unconscious. When she regained consciousness, she told Martin she was unaware she had hit the house.

Paramedics took her to the hospital.

Three people were inside the house at the time, including one person who was in the room where the SUV hit the house.
