Traffic lanes were blocked due to the collision, he said. No further information was provided.

Earlier Friday night, MCFRS crews responded around 9:15 p.m. to a report of a collision at a home in the 12200 block of Morning Light Terrace in Gaithersburg, where a sports utility vehicle had crashed through the rear wall of an attached garage, according to Piringer.

Piringer said first responders helped the uninjured driver get out of the Honda CR-V, which had dropped about 5 feet. The vehicle was stuck in the wall, according to photos he posted.

The garage was damaged, but the main part of the house was unaffected, Piringer said.
