Preliminary investigation showed that a Ford F-150 pickup truck driven by a 63-year-old Dorchester man collided with a Jeep Wrangler driven by a 19-year-old Dedham man, according to state police. The crash caused the pickup to veer off the road and strike the foundation of a house at 85 Gallivan Boulevard. The Jeep hit a BMW X3 and a Honda Odyssey van that were parked on Oakridge Street.

The driver of the pickup truck was taken to an area hospital with minor injuries, state police said. The driver of the Jeep did not require hospitalization.

A 63-year-old Dorchester woman who was a passenger in the pickup truck was also uninjured.

Building inspectors for the City of Boston also responded to the scene to evaluate the damage to the house.
