The driver of a van that crashed into a house on Providence Road early Sunday was taken by ambulance to a hospital, authorities said.

The name and condition of the driver weren’t immediately available.

It also wasn’t clear what caused the crash, which was reported at about 1:07 a.m. Sunday. Providence Road, a short road on the north side of Oak Ridge High School, is a relatively straight road with a few curves. The Oak Ridge Police Department is investigating the crash.

Authorities said the driver was taken by ambulance to the University of Tennessee Medical Center in Knoxville.

The GMC van, which had ladders strapped to its roof, damaged the wall, siding, and porch post of the home. There were no reports of injuries to anyone inside the home.

The van appeared to have left the roadway and traveled through a short section of a neighboring yard before taking out a section of shrubs between the two homes and crashing into the house at 110 Providence Road.

The Oak Ridge police and fire departments both responded to the crash.

More information will be added as it becomes available.
