At about 5:30 p.m., Crystal Lake police and fire departments responded to the 1500 block of Carlemont Drive for a report of a single-vehicle crash with injuries.

According to preliminary information, a Nissan Altima was traveling westbound in the parking lot, and while attempting to park, the vehicle drove over the sidewalk and struck the building.
