A 23-year-old woman was uninjured after her vehicle struck a home in Casco Township, Michigan, outside South Haven, on Thursday night, November 5, 2026. The crash caused substantial damage to the home's garage.
According to the Allegan County Sheriff's Office, the woman lost control while driving in the rain. The vehicle hydroplaned, left the roadway and struck the house. Homeowner Molly Klein described it as a hatchback.
Klein said she and her family were talking in their kitchen when they heard the impact and felt the house shake. It took her a moment to understand what had happened. She then looked through a window, saw headlights and went outside to check on the driver.
By the time Klein reached her, the woman had already left the vehicle. Klein said her first concern was finding out whether anyone needed help.
The hatchback struck a corner of the garage, bringing part of the structure down onto the vehicle, according to Klein. She described more than half of the hatchback as being inside the garage after the collision.
Klein said her family had concerns about passing traffic before this crash. Their home stands just a few feet from the roadway, and she said drivers frequently speed past the property. Her comments described traffic near the home generally, rather than establishing the speed of the vehicle involved Thursday.
She worries that another collision could strike the portion of the house containing the family's main living spaces. Klein described the kitchen as being toward the front and the living room farther back. Those are areas where the family spends much of its time.
Despite the garage damage, Klein expressed relief that the crash had not been worse. She emphasized that the structure could be repaired.
The family is working with its insurance company to address the damage to the home. They also hope to replace toys belonging to their baby that were lost as a result of the crash.
