The crash happened at about 3:50 a.m. Sunday 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.

One home appeared to lose its entire front porch in the crash. A firefighter could be seen tending to the driver at the scene as the driver sat off the sidewalk.

The driver was not seriously injured and no other injuries were reported.
