Police officers are investigating after a pickup truck crashed into a house in southeast Edmonton Monday afternoon.
A damaged pickup truck was seen next to a knocked-down fence and a house with what appeared to be a massive hole in its wall in the area of 57 Street and 40 Avenue at around 5:30 p.m.
According to police, witnesses said they heard a truck sound like it was driving very fast and then heard a crash at around 4:45 p.m. They told police the driver crashed into the house before trying to back out.
Police said the driver, believed to be in his late 60s, was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries while the two people who were inside the home at the time were uninjured.
Drugs and alcohol are not believed to be factors in the crash and police said they are investigating whether the driver may have had a “medical episode” or if there could have been mechanical issues with the truck.
There was no word on how extensive the damage to the home was.
