Indianapolis, IN – A truck allegedly veered off the roadway early Thursday morning and crashed into a home on the city’s south side, leaving significant structural damage but no reported injuries to residents inside.
According to the Indianapolis Fire Department, crews were dispatched around 5:28 a.m. to the 22 block of West Troy Avenue after reports that a vehicle had left the road and struck a residence. Authorities said the truck allegedly powered through part of the home while two occupants were inside at the time of the crash.
Officials confirmed that both residents escaped without injury. The male driver of the truck was transported by Indianapolis Emergency Medical Services to Eskenazi Hospital in reportedly good condition for further evaluation.
Fire officials said the damage to the one-and-a-half-story home was extensive, with the living room area described as being largely torn away from the structure. Due to the severity of the impact, the Indianapolis Fire Department’s Collapse Rescue Team was called in to stabilize the building.
Crews worked to shore up the structure before eventually removing temporary supports and releasing the property back to the homeowner. The homeowner is now reportedly working through the insurance process to address the damage and begin recovery efforts.
The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department is investigating the cause of the crash. No additional details have been released regarding what may have led the driver to allegedly leave the roadway.
Fire officials said the scene was cleared and command was terminated at approximately 7:47 a.m.
