Emergency units responded to the university campus after reports of the collision. Officials said the three people inside the car suffered injuries and were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. Their conditions have not been released.
Classes at the university had ended more than a week before the crash, and the residence hall was not crowded at the time of the incident. City officials said the exterior damage to the building appeared to be minor.
Authorities continue to investigate the cause of the crash, and more details will be released as soon as they become available.

How Building Collisions on Campus Roads Are Typically Assessed
When a vehicle crashes into a building on or near a college campus, several factors are usually reviewed to determine how the accident occurred. Road layout, driver actions, vehicle speed, and weather conditions may all be examined after the scene is secured.
Campus areas often include narrow streets, parking zones, and pedestrian traffic that can increase the chance of sudden driving mistakes. Even low-speed crashes can lead to injuries when a vehicle leaves the roadway and strikes a fixed structure. In these situations, property inspections are commonly performed to check for hidden structural damage that may not be visible from the outside.
Medical evaluations also remain a major part of these incidents, especially when passengers are transported to the hospital. Follow-up assessments may provide more information about the extent of injuries in the days after the crash.
