WYOMING, Mich. — Two people were hospitalized after a car crashed into a home in Wyoming early Friday morning.

It happened around 1:30 a.m., in the 2900 block of Clyde Park Ave. SW, near the intersection of Colrain Street SW and Clyde Park Avenue SW.

Once on scene, rescue crews could hear a person inside the house asking for help. An elderly man had been in bed and was pinned under the vehicle inside of his home.
