Van crashes into side of Springfield house

Police are investigating what caused a van to crash into the side of a house.

It happened late Monday afternoon at the intersection of Jefferson and Walnut lawn. The van hopped a curb, tore through a fence, then took out a pair of air conditioning units before hitting the side of a brick house. The woman driving the van didn't appear to be seriously hurt, but was taken to the hospital to be checked out.

A woman inside the house slept right through the accident and was not injured.
