A car careened into a Dorchester home on Harvard Street this afternoon, police and residents said.

Sometime after 3 p.m. there was a possible two-car accident at the intersection of Harvard and Morton streets, with one car driving into a home on 492 Harvard St., a Boston Police spokeswoman said. No other information was immediately available.


The front of the three-family home as well as a fence surrounding the property was damaged, and a mailbox was knocked over, said Brooke Williams, who lives in a third-floor apartment in the building and was at home when the car hit the building.

“I just came out of the house to mail something off, and I came back in and sat down in my apartment and I heard ‘boom!’ I heard something hit real hard,” said Brooke Williams, who lives in a third-floor apartment in the building. “This guy, he hit the house.”

She said the car, which appears to be damaged, is sitting in the building. Police are on scene.
