CKPG also reported the truck was so high in the air, it brought down part of the house’s roof – at least 12 feet off the ground.

Assistant Fire Chief Drew Larson told Global News the truck appeared to be out of control. The cause of the collision is currently under investigation.

There were three people in the house. Remarkably, no one in the house was hurt.
