Homeowner Startled By Crash

The truck penetrated a few feet into the home's front porch, located in the 4600 block of East Washington Street, Rinehart reported. The crash happened around 2:40 p.m.

The truck's driver, identified only as a 42-year-old Indianapolis man, was taken to a hospital with minor injuries, police said.

A resident of the home, Sandy Ayers, was there at the time of the crash. She was not injured.

"I was just sitting on the bed, and all of the sudden, wham, everything went," Ayers said.

Witnesses told police that the truck swerved across traffic and went through a few yards before striking the house.

The crash was under investigation Wednesday afternoon. Information on the cause wasn't available.

A hazardous-materials crew was called to clean the diesel fuel that spilled from the truck.
