Drowsy driver crashes semi truck through 130 year old home while family sleeps

A truck driver and a family of four are okay after the driver fell asleep and crashed into a home in New York on Tuesday morning. 

The accident happened early on August 6th in Oakfield, New York. 

According to 7 ABC, the truck driver hit a vehicle on Drake Street before crashing into the first floor of the house, where a family of four was sleeping. 

“We were up on the third floor sound asleep, my wife and I, and all of a sudden there was a loud noise and the house shifted and dropped,” said homeowner Eric Seppala. “We started talking to our sons yelling back and fourth between the sons who were on the floor below us. I was able to get down my one son. His door was jammed. I kicked that open and he was able to get out. I went to the other one. We couldn’t get through that door. They ended up getting him out a window on the other side.”

The truck driver was taken to a nearby hospital with non life threatening injuries. No one inside of the house was injured. 

The house was built in the 1890s, and has been owned by the Seppala family since 1957. No further information had been released.
