Two people who were injured in a fiery crash when their vehicle crashed into a home in Portland, Ont. are expected to fully recover, police said Monday.

The occupants of the vehicle were pulled to safety just before the fire started and were taken to hospital. The 73-year-old driver and 85-year-old passenger both suffered minor injuries, police said, and are expected to fully recover.
OPP said the building is a "total loss" and was unoccupied at the time of the collision.
