The homeowner, who did not want to give his name, told Global News he had just gone into his house from working outside when he heard a loud noise. He came out to see his brand new truck wedged into his home.

He says he helped the driver of the dump truck get out, and that the man was not injured.

Hutchinson says the Department of Transportation was called in to set up a detour on the road as investigators surveyed the scene.
