Crews, including members of Minnesota Task Force 1, placed struts in several spots to support the house so the vehicle could be removed safely. The home had significant damage to both load-bearing and non-load-bearing parts.
No one inside the house was hurt. One person connected to the vehicle was evaluated by Mayo Clinic Ambulance and taken to a hospital.
The Rochester Police Department, Mayo Clinic Ambulance and the Rochester Fire Marshals Division assisted.
