A car plowed into a house shortly before 6:30 p.m. Tuesday on West Boulevard near Belleville.

The St. Clair County Sheriff's Department and the East Side Fire Protection District responded to the scene, which drew a small crowd of onlookers.

Deborah Texier, who lives on Mill Springs Road, said she was watching television when she heard the crash.

"It was a loud 'POW' like an explosion," she said.

It's unclear if anyone was injured in the crash. A MedStar ambulance left the scene unoccupied.

The house sustained some structural damage as a result of the accident.
