PORT RICHEY, Fla. - A Port Richey couple were inside their home when their neighbor across the street lost control of her pickup truck, and crashed into the front of their home, leaving behind a gaping hole.
Florida Highway Patrol troopers said the 30-year-old female driver was parked in the driveway of a home in the 7300 block of Oak Crest Drive. She placed the truck in gear, but lost control of the vehicle, traveling south across the street and into the front of the home.
Troopers said the 65-year-old woman inside the house had minor injuries while the second resident, a 58-year-old man, was uninjured.
The homeowner, Deanna Brown, told FOX 13 she lives in the home with her fiancé, David. She said she was in the kitchen when the truck plowed into the home, knocking her to the ground.
She said David was in the living room watching TV. Now, she is concerned about her cats. Only one out of five have been found as of Thursday morning.
