Large truck goes through front, roof of Green Lake home in violent crash

SEATTLE — A commercial truck went off the road late Monday morning, badly damaging the front of a home and even slicing through its roof when it crashed.

No one was seriously hurt.

The Seattle Fire Department first tweeted about the crash into the home at North 85th Street and Wallingford Avenue North at 11:17 a.m.

Photos from the scene showed the truck’s container went through the front of the home and titled upward into the roof. The front of the truck was not visible from outside the house.

Firefighters said a passenger in the truck was able to get out on his own, but crews had to extricate the driver.

Seattle police said there were no serious injuries, although the driver was transported to a hospital in stable condition, and warned drivers to slow down as roads are slick with rain.

Fire crews are putting shoring in place to stabilize the home.

Seattle police are investigating what caused the crash.
