Vehicle Crashes in to House on North Larkin Avenue
On May 30, 2025, at 4:34 p.m., Officers responded to North Larkin Avenue and Avalon Avenue for a report of a single- vehicle traffic crash.
A preliminary investigation of the crash determined that a Nissan Altima driven by a male (35, Joliet) was northbound on North Larkin Avenue approaching Avalon Avenue.
It is believed that the driver may have suffered a medical event and veered to the right and struck a light pole on the east side of the roadway. The Nissan continued northbound through the grass, crossed Avalon Avenue, and came to a stop after striking a residence in the 600 block of North Larkin Avenue.
The driver was transported to St. Joseph Medical Center by the Joliet Fire Department in stable condition.
The residence was unoccupied at the time of the crash. Nicor Gas was called to the scene as the vehicle struck a gas meter. A city of Joliet building inspector responded to evaluate the structural damage.
