Car slams into home across from Hamilton elementary school

Hamilton police are investigating after a car crashed into a home on Stoney Creek mountain Tuesday evening.

Police say around 6 p.m. a Kia sedan smashed into the front of a home on Winterberry Dr.

The driver of the sedan, a 46-year-old woman, was taken to hospital. The extent of her injuries are not known at this time.

Police say the driver suffered a medical episode causing her to lose control.

The sedan was seriously damaged in the crash and was towed from the scene a few hours later. Video from the scene also showed a pickup truck with damage to the front bumper.

This is the second time in six weeks a car has hit a home on Winterberry drive.  Residents say they’re fed up with the traffic congestion and speed on their street, ever since Highland rd closed for construction and Winterberry became a detour.
