St. Augustine, FL : Truck crashes into St. Augustine house Sunday evening, Oct 18, 2015
A truck crashed into St. Augustine house Sunday evening, causing minor structural damage.
Officials said the crash happened around 6:25 p.m. at 27 Ocean Way in St. Augustine.
Kevin Owens' mom lives inside the house that was hit and said no one was inside when the crash happened.
"It knocked out a little bit the foundation and broke some plaster of the wall inside the house," Owens said.
St. Augustine Fire Rescue Capt. Fittipaldi confirmed the driver of the truck was transported to a local hospital with minor injuries.
“It appears the truck tried to come around the corner and just misjudged everything and hit the side of my mom's house,” Owens said.
Owens said the thought of his mother sitting inside the living room, just feet away from where the truck crashed into the home, scares him.
“Very surprised -- this is not what I expected on a Sunday evening,” Owens said.
He said while Monday will be spent cleaning up the mess, things could’ve been a lot worse.
