Driver injured after crashing into 2 Springfield homes
The driver was able to exit the vehicle after the crash. He was brought to the hospital by ambulance with injuries that are not life threatening, Fire Department Capt. Drew Piemonte said.
The crash took place just before 11:30 p.m. The driver struck a home at 283 Eastern Ave. and continued on, hitting the house next door, Piemonte said.
He struck the porches of the three-story and the two-story homes. The owners of the houses were able to secure them so residents could remain there until repairs can be made, Piemonte said.
Springfield police have taken over the scene and are investigating the crash, Piemonte said.

Wayland Police will participate in Route 20 traffic enforcement program. How it works
Route 20 stretches from Massachusetts to Oregon. This week, the Wayland Police Department will join other police departments from several states in a targeted traffic enforcement mobilization. Wayland Police Chief Ed Burman told the Daily News that the department will participate in the Highway 20 Speed Enforcement Project on Wednesday, July 16. 'It's a big enforcement day along Route 20 in 12 states, and it's designed to target speeders,' Burman said. This is the fourth mobilization this year — there are future events on Sept. 17 and Nov. 19. Wayland has been a participant for two years. The program was created by the Iowa State Patrol. It's designed to be a collaborative effort between local and state police to help promote traffic safety and reduce crashes on the often-busy Route 20. In Auburn and Oregon: Route 20 crackdown's mission is to educate, save lives Burman said he plans on having a patrol cruiser specifically working on Route 20 on July 16, targeting speeders. The Massachusetts State Police also plan on having extra patrols in several communities. Burman pointed out that Route 20 is a busy road in town and the site of many crashes, some serious. Burman said the amount of time the officer patrols Route 20 on Wednesday will be determined by how busy it is that day. 'It's a big cut-through for a lot of drivers,' said Burman. 'By upping the enforcement, hopefully it help reduces the number of crashes we have.'

Customer Walks Into Dealership With Bad Credit Score. Then They Get the Highest Interest Rate This Salesman's Ever Seen
A dealership worker shares the highest interest rate he's ever seen a car buyer secure. Then he reveals the credit score that got them the deal. TikTok user Joseph Rodriguez ( @jrodsellscars ) is a car salesman based in New Jersey. In a video posted on July 10, Rodriguez reveals the interest rate on his most recent sale. It's an eye-popping number. Get the best news, reviews, columns, and more delivered straight to your inbox, daily. back Sign up For more information, read our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use . 'You think you have a high interest rate on your car?' Rodriguez says. 'I can guarantee you somebody has it worse.' Rodriguez shows a brief summary of the deal on a piece of paper. It shows an initial retail price of $17,767 at an interest rate of 33.4% over 72 months. The total they're borrowing is $18,767. "This was an approval to a 520 score," Rodriguez says. "For all you guys out there who might have a 15% rate, an 18% rate—that's still way better than this." This is why having a good credit score is so important, Rodriguez says. "The difference in payment between a 10% rate and a 34% rate is significant. I'm talking hundreds of dollars a month,' he adds. 'Nevertheless, this is the reality of coming to the dealership with a low credit score." If your credit score is currently on the lower end, Rodriguez recommends first working with a credit repair program and waiting six to 12 months before heading to the dealership for a new car. In a direct message to Motor1 , Rodriguez said, 'Consider rebuilding your credit before taking on high-interest loans.' 'Don't Give Up' As Rodriguez suggests, this customer will pay a significant sum in interest alone. According to NerdWallet's auto loan calculator, an $18,767 loan with a 30.4% interest rate and 72-month (six year) term will cost $569 a month. Over the life of the loan, NerdWallet says the individual will pay just shy of $41,000 for the vehicle—or over $22,000 in interest.

She Doesn't Understand Why It's Still Dry In the comments, viewers offered a torrent of disbelief over the terms of this loan. "That's a credit card APR," wrote one person. A second person agreed, "Buying a cash car off of a credit card makes more sense at that point." Other people said this deal made them feel better about their situations. "I have a 2.9 and I still complain," wrote one person. And one person even offered some words of encouragement to those who are still building or repairing their credit after financial struggles. "I filed bankruptcy back in 1998, but from 2005 it's been 832 to 848. So, people, don't give up," they wrote. Should You Repair Your Credit Before Getting a Car Loan? Credit score reporting agency Experian backs up much of what Rodriguez says. In a blog, the company states that, with the average new car price and car loan interest rates skyrocketing, it's a good idea to work on raising your credit score before securing an auto loan. Loan applicants with higher credit scores get lower interest rates. That means saving money over the life of the loan. Experian recommends first checking your credit report to see your score and what is dragging it down. Although Rodriguez pointed his followers to a credit repair agency, you can also track inaccurate entries on your credit report and sent dispute letters to the creditors on your own. After that, Experian says to start making your bill payments on time, getting serious about tackling any credit card debt, and limit any new credit applications going forward.
