WESTFIELD, Ind. — A truck ran into a home in Hamilton County on Sunday.

One of WFD’s vehicles is specially equipped to respond to structure collapses. The vehicle carries construction equipment and building supplies that crews can use to shore and stabilize compromised structures.
On Sunday, WFD brought the vehicle to scene and built two structural support columns to shore up the portion of the residence that was hit by the truck. WFD’s work allowed the family living in the home to safely remain there for the time being.
Officials also confirmed none of the home or truck’s occupants were injured during the crash.
WFD did not report exactly when or where the crash happened. As of this article’s publication, no additional information on the crash had been made available.
