No one was home at the time.

“It’s a house, it’s a wall, it’s not a human being,” said George Bell, the home’s owner.

He said that fortunately the tenants who lived there had moved out two weeks ago.

“The house was built in 1900 and it’s a really cool house,” Bell said. “But I may have to come down now.”

First responders took the driver to WakeMed for treatment of his injuries. Once he gets out, he will be charged with fleeing to elude and reckless driving from Wilson’s Mills.
