The driver couldn't stop the truck so he jumped out, breaking his arm in the process. The truck rolled into a two-story home, completely shearing it from its foundation, Barnes said.
Crews were still working on removing the truck from the home Wednesday evening. After that, it will need to be demolished. No one but the truck driver was hurt, Barnes said.
