Updated: March 20, 2013
One person was taken to the hospital after a car hit a home in Benton County this afternoon.

The accident happened on Edgewood Circle just East of Siloam Springs.

Benton County Deputies say a 70-year-old woman mistook her gas pedal for her brakes, went airborne over a curb, struck a mailbox and narrowly avoided another home before the collision.

The woman was taken to the hospital with minor injuries. Three juvenile females who were in the car with her were also treated on the scene but police could not comment further on their injuries.

Witnesses say there was a woman in the home at the time, but she was not hurt.

Police don't believe drugs or alcohol played a role in the accident.
