Hit And Run Driver Slams Into Lincoln Home Leaving Massive Hole

 

LINCOLN (CBS13) – A driver lost control of his truck slamming into the side of a home in Lincoln and then took off on foot after trying to back the truck out of the home and failing.

The crash happened at Morago Drive at Jorgenson in the Placer County town of Lincoln.  The truck slammed into the side of the two-story home while the family including three girls under the age of six slept upstairs.

The driver apparently tried to back out of the home spinning the trucks tires causing smoke to fill the home.  When that failed to work, the driver took off on foot.

A tow truck pulled the truck from the side of the home which left a gaping hole at least 10 feet by 10 feet.

While the family was unhurt by the crash, their eyes and throats were irritated by the smoke that filled the home.

The suspect is still on the loose.
