Watertown Police were called to the scene of a car vs. house accident earlier today, where a vehicle had crashed into a residential home on Main Street. The incident caused quite a stir in the neighborhood, with onlookers gathering to see the aftermath of the collision.
Upon arrival, officers found a car lodged into the front of the house, with significant damage to both the vehicle and the building. The driver of the car was reportedly shaken but uninjured, while the residents of the house were fortunately not home at the time of the accident.
The police quickly secured the area and ensured that there were no immediate dangers to the public.
