Rescue efforts were immediately initiated to extricate the driver and transport them to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
“It’s the second time it’s happened in the last two years on this street,” said Norwell Deputy Fire Chief William Milne. “That building right over there got hit last year by a vehicle. It’s just a sharp turn people don’t slow down.”
No one was home at the time of the crash. The extent of the damage to the home is significant, fire officials say.
It’s unclear what caused the truck to crash, that’s still under investigation. A section of the home will need repairs, but incredibly no one was seriously injured in the incident.
