Woman drives through Duluth home after ‘medical episode’

A woman accidentally drove through one of her neighbor’s houses Friday after having a “medical episode,” police said.

Firefighters and officers responded to the home in the 3800 block of Berkeley Crossing after the incident, Duluth police spokesman Ted Sadowski told AJC.com.

The vehicle drove through the front door of the home and exited through the back. One person was upstairs in the home and another was downstairs, but neither person was injured, Sadowski said.

The driver, who lives on the same street, was examined by the Gwinnett County Fire Department and released, he said. Gwinnett fire spokesman Donald Strother said paramedics didn’t find “any medical complaints requiring treatment or transport.”

No charges will be filed in the incident, Sadowski said.
