An elderly man has non-life-threatening injuries after a medical emergency while driving caused him to crash on Monday afternoon.
Overland Park police, firefighters, and Johnson County Med-Act paramedics were called to the Residences at Prairiefire luxury apartments, 6231 W. 136th St., at 1:47 p.m.
Recorded radio traffic from firefighters reported one SUV had crashed through an exterior wall of the building, coming to a stop entirely inside.

A city of Overland Park building inspector also responded to evaluate the damage.
The vehicle appeared to have been driving south on Lamar Avenue just before the crash.
