One man was cited for numerous operating violations after a car versus house crash in Bloomington Sept. 16, according to the Grant County Sheriff’s Office.

At about 7:40 a.m., that Friday, deputies responded to a report of the crash at 525 Canal St. Authorities said, Jacob Johnson, 23, of Bloomington, was traveling southbound on Highway 35/Canal St. in his 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee. He left the roadway while negotiating a curve, hopped the curb, and struck the front porch of a house at that location. After the crash, Johnson fled the scene, according to a sheriff’s office report.

Residents were home at the time of the crash, but were not injured. The house sustained damages to its front porch. Johnson’s vehicle sustained heavy front end damages and was removed from the scene by B&M Towing, of Bloomington.

Deputies located Johnson the next day, Sept. 17. He had sustained minor injuries in the crash. He was cited for operating after suspension, non-registration of a vehicle, no insurance, inattentive driving, hit and run, and failure to notify police of a crash. Johnson stated he fled the scene because he knew he didn’t have a driver’s license, according to authorities.
