SAN DIEGO -- An 85-year-old man crashed his motor home into a Chula Vista apartment building, narrowly missing a teenage girl sitting in her living room, Chula Vista police said today.

The 24-foot-long motor home jumped a curb, ran over a phone box, crashed through a brick wall, hit two trash bins and an unoccupied parked car before slamming into the apartment building at 540 C St. at about 5:30 p.m. yesterday, said Chula Vista Police Officer Rusty Rea.

The 13-year-old girl wasn't injured but Charles Phillips, the driver of the motor home, was taken to UCSD Medical Center Hillcrest for back, neck and chest pain, Rea said.

Phillips has a history of medical problems that may have contributed to the collision, Rea said.

Damage to the apartment building prompted officials to evacuate two families, Rea said. The Red Cross helped the families locate temporary housing.
