Car crashes into apartment building, driver sent to the hospital

PERRY – Several Perry residents got an early wake-up call Saturday morning. May 25, a man crashed his car into an apartment complex at Kings Chapel Road. 
Perry Police Major Heath Dykes said the department suspected the man had a medical emergency while driving. 
“We suspect he had a seizure, according to him, and he lost control of the vehicle,” he said. “He basically continued on up and into that apartment and went into the wall.”
Dykes said there were some minor injuries, but nothing life-threatening. The driver was transported to the hospital. Perry Police Department has no update on his status at this time. 
A few people were inside the apartment complex when the car struck the building. 
“They were in their bedrooms in the back,” he said.” I think one of the little boys may have bumped his head when it happened, but nothing that was a major injury.” 
Dykes said the police department wrote up the incident as a single-car accident with property damage and deemed it accidental. He said the driver did not face charges. 
“He wasn’t under the influence or was driving negligent,” he said. “This was just a natural act of having a medical emergency and it was out of his hands.”
