Driver slams van into side of house

HOUSTON At about noon, the driver was traveling on Alabama near Adair when his vehicle left the roadway, striking a fence and then plowing into the side of the home. Witnesses say he appeared to have suffered a seizure and lost control, but officials on the scene could not confirm that.

The driver suffered minor injuries and was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital. The driver was the only occupant in the vehicle.

The home is occupied, but the resident wasn't home at the time. A TV left on gave rescuers the impression someone may be home, but they found nobody inside after two searches.
