Montville — No one was injured after a Montville man mistook his gas pedal for a brake pedal and drove his car into his mobile home around 10 a.m. Sunday, according to the Fire Department.
The car caught on fire on impact, firefighters said, catching the front portion of the home at 401 Old Colchester Road on fire, too.
Firefighters said they had the blaze under control in about 20 minutes, but there is damage to the front portion of the trailer and it was knocked off its foundation. The American Red Cross assisted the resident.
