A crash launched an SUV into a house in the 1800 block of 75th Street during rush hour Monday evening.

The 5:40 p.m. crash involving a Dodge Durango and Honda Civic sent two women to a nearby hospital for non-life-threatening injuries, police said.

The historic two-story stone house sustained serious damage, and electricity and gas had to be cut off, said Kenosha Fire Department Battalion Chief Matt Haerter.

Witness Jason Marshall said he was eastbound when he was almost clipped by the westbound Honda, which was traveling at a high rate of speed. When he stopped and looked in his rear-view mirror, he said he saw the Durango, which was eastbound make a left turn northbound onto 18th Avenue when it collided with the Civic.

“He (the Civic) hit the brakes trying to slow down, and it looked like the car wobbled a little bit, like he was trying to decide which direction to take to avoid the accident,” Marshall said. “When he hit the truck, it re-directed it straight up in the yard and into that guy’s house. ... It was completely his fault. This is a 30 mph street.”

Marshall and a handful of neighbors said the young driver of the Civic seemed dazed, but not seriously injured. He received multiple tickets, but was not arrested, Kenosha police said.
