CHICAGO (CBS) -- An SUV crashed all the way through a garage in west suburban West Chicago on Friday.

Police confirmed the car was traveling at a high rate of speed when it crashed through the garage. The man was being airlifted to the hospital, but was alert and talking; his condition wasn't immediately available.

The home's occupant, his wife and two young children were not inside at the time of the crash. A building inspector will determine if the home is structurally sound, CBS 2's Jeremy Ross reports.
