A vehicle smashed into a parked truck and a house before bursting into flames Monday night. Three people suffered injury, one critically in the crash.

Mason L. McGough of Green Springs was driving a 2005 Dodge Stratus when he lost control shortly after crossing the train tracks on Portland Road.

The car skid through the yard of a home and struck the back of a Chevy pickup that sat nearby, causing it to roll 10 feet into the flower bed.

It appears the driver but not his passengers were wearing a seatbelt, Ohio State Highway Patrol said.

The investigation is ongoing and it is unclear at this time if alcohol or drugs are a factor in the crash.

A nearby neighbor, Brad Gilbert, witnessed the crash and helped to pull the driver and his passengers from the fiery vehicle.

No one was injured inside the home, but a portion of the siding was melted and a corner of the house was damaged. Debris was strewn about the yard.
