A man is hospitalized after crashing his car into a Fort Worth apartment complex.

The driver apparently lost control, ran over a gas meter and crashed through a fence before hitting a wall of the building.

The driver was taken to John Peter Smith Hospital for observation and is expected to be OK.

Firefighters evacuated people in two nearby apartment buildings and an adjacent Arby's restaurant until they could shut off the gas.
