A 24-year-old Scarborough man has been charged with careless driving after a truck driving in northern Ontario landed on the roof of a house on Monday, Nipissing West OPP say.
At about 5:15 p.m., police and fire crews responded to the single-vehicle collision on Highway 64 in Alban, Ont., officers say.
The commercial truck, which was travelling east, drove off the road and into a driveway culvert, police add.
The truck then hit a hydro pole, which caused its back to lift up and land on the roof of a house, police say.
According to officers, there was nobody in the house at the time. There were two people in the truck, but neither were injured.
