An inspector determined the integrity of the building had not been compromised, according to authorities, who said residents were being relocated during repairs.
Although the crash investigation is ongoing, some preliminary results were released.
"At this time it is believed to be the result of a medical incident," the Harford County Sheriff's Office said in a statement about the crash before 9:30 a.m. "It is still unclear if it is also weather related. Drugs and alcohol are NOT preliminary believed to be involved."
Due to weather conditions, there was a two-hour delay for Harford County Public Schools Wednesday. In some cases, delays were longer because a line of snow squalls moved through the county as well.
