Woman crashes car into Palmdale duplex

A woman was injured early Monday morning when her car crashed into a unit of a Palmdale duplex.

The crash was reported at 1:08 a.m. in the 37900 block of Fifth Street East, according to Lt. Jeffrey Rhea of the Palmdale Sheriff’s Station.

Video from the scene showed the car all the way into a room of an apartment. A neighbor told a news videographer that the resident of the unit passed away a few months ago, so it was empty.

The video showed an ambulance taking a patient to a hospital.

A representative from the Building and Safety Division of Los Angeles County Public Works was called to the scene, according to a dispatcher at the LA County Fire Department.
