Florida man drove his pickup truck through house before landing in pool
UPDATED: 10:31 PM EST January 15, 2004

BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. -- A pickup truck plowed through a Port Saint John home in the middle of the night. It caused major damage to the home and came dangerously close to taking out a family sleeping inside.

A hole that goes from the front to the back of the house is as bizarre as it is true.



(snip)

That sound was two tons of Chevy truck burrowing a hole through Wise's front living room and the kitchen, before coming to rest in the pool in his backyard.

(snip)

FHP says, upon arrival, the female passenger was incoherent and topless, while Todd was apparently under the influence of alcohol. Blood tests are still pending and so are the damage estimates for half of a home, which is now in pieces.
