The home is "not in danger of collapse" following the crash, police say.
After the crash, Chrismon fled on foot and was apprehended by police, authorities say. He was taken to the Camden County Jail, police say.
As a result of the crash, the 24-year-old driver of the other vehicle received minor injuries, according to police. An 8-year-old and 7-year-old passenger in that car received "critical injuries," police say. All three were transported to the hospital.
