ST. CLOUD, Minn. — One person is being treated at a St. Cloud hospital after driving a vehicle into a house, triggering a massive fire Tuesday evening.

St. Cloud Fire officials said the vehicle crashed through the front of a home at the intersection of Division Street and 17th Avenue South around 5:30 p.m. Officials say the house caught fire and was fully engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived at the scene.

Fortunately, there was no one inside the structure at the time of the incident. 

SCFD says it appears the driver suffered a medical emergency before the crash. He was taken to St. Cloud Hospital with unknown injuries. 

It's unclear if any other homes were damaged by the fire.
