The Colonial Drive resident was taken to The Valley Hospital in Ridgewood by ambulance after complaining of difficulty breathing following the 9 p.m. crash.

Members of the Allendale Fire Department’s Heavy Rescue team shored up a structural support beam so that the home could remain occupied after being struck by the 2011 Hyundai Elantra.

The Allendale building sub-code official also responded, along with borough police and EMS workers.
