1/17/18 - Leroy Twp truck vs house, Howell & Kendrick

At 3:41 PM on Wednesday, January 17, 2018, the Leroy Township Fire Department and NIESA ambulance were dispatched to a report of a truck into a house on Howell Rd at Kendrick Rd. A Uhaul truck traveling westbound on Howell Rd, left the roadway and drove into the side of a house causing significant damage. Originally reported as the driver being trapped, when firefighters arrived all occupants of the house and the truck were self extricated. Additional departments had been dispatched to assist with the potential rescue, but were cancelled at this time. While NIESA ambulance personnel evaluated the driver, who received minor injuries, fire personnel evaluated the structural stability of the house and checked the house & vehicle for hazards. Firefighters also assisted Bill's Wrecker service with getting the truck removed from the house and landscaping.
