MARIETTA, Ga. — A woman is grateful to be alive after a driver lost control of an SUV and crashed into a townhome in Marietta on Wednesday.

According to witnesses, the driver of the SUV lost control after turning onto Cole Street.

A woman was in the upper floor of the townhome when she heard and felt the impact of the crash into the home office on the lower level.

Marietta Police PIO Chuck McPhilamy says the driver and passenger in the SUV were rushed to the hospital.

“It sounded like an explosion; it was really loud,” said Addison Blumenthal, a neighbor. “I did see a woman jump out of the car. She looked quite frantic.”

McPhilamy says crews are concerned about structural damage to the townhome.

“We want to make sure it’s safe before we allow anyone to return back inside,” McPhilamy said.

It does not appear that the driver suffered a medical emergency, according to McPhilamy.

Fire crews worked to pull the SUV out the townhome. Police have not said if the driver is facing any charges.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
