Briefs: Senior unhurt in crash

An 89-year-old woman was taken to Delnor-Community Hospital in Geneva for observation Thursday after driving a car through a garage door, wall, yard, fence and into another vehicle, police said. The accident happened about 1 p.m. when the woman drove a 1991 Cadillac through a garage door on the 100 block of South 14th Street. The car then went through the garage's rear wall and through a yard behind the garage before hitting an unoccupied pickup truck in a parking lot at 20 S. 14th St. The impact caused the truck to hit an apartment building, police said. The driver had no visible injuries and did not complain of pain. A damage estimate was not immediately available.
