SCHENECTADY — A car damaged three houses on Michigan Avenue Sunday morning, according to police and a Daily Gazette photographer who responded to the scene.

The driver did not appear to be seriously injured in the crash, and no other injuries were reported.

The crash happened at about 3:50 a.m. on Michigan Avenue, after the driver apparently lost control of his car and struck the homes’ front porches. The car came to rest in front of 383 Michigan Ave., near Schuyler Street.
