A car crashed into a Waterboro house Friday afternoon, damaging its foundation and rendering it uninhabitable.

Shortly before 2 p.m. Friday, Parker Janelle, 28, of Saco veered left off the road and struck a house at the corner of Main Street and Jellerson Road, the York County Sheriff’s Office said.

Authorities did not say what may have caused Janelle to swerve off the road. They said Janelle’s car hit the house hard enough to compromise the foundation. Town officials declared the residence unsafe for habitation.

The one resident who lived there was not home at the time, and has since moved in with family members.

York County Sheriff William King said Janelle fled the scene on foot and was found about a mile and a half away. He was taken to Southern Maine Medical Center in Sanford, the sheriff said, without describing any injuries that Janelle might have suffered.

Janelle was issued summonses for driving without a license, driving to endanger, and leaving the scene of an accident, King said.
