Dashcam footage captures moment dump truck smashes into home after driver suffers 'medical emergency'
Terrifying dashboard camera footage captured the moment a dump truck crashed into a New Jersey home after the driver suffered a 'medical emergency'. The 73,000lb truck, which was loaded with concrete sand, smashed into the Woodbury Heights home on Tuesday. Woodbury Police were called to the scene at the intersection of Woodbury-Glassboro Road and Fairview Avenue at 1.34pm. The commercial truck, owned by Zeisloft Trucking, was traveling northbound when it struck a telephone pole and continued down the street until it collided with the home. Dashcam footage obtained by WPVI showed the truck driving past several cars before picking up speed and veering off the road and into the home at nearly 50mph. First responders rescued the resident and the truck driver from the rubble, but the home had to be totaled. Neighbor, Derek Keating, told Fox 29 that he ran over to help, and a natural gas line started to leak before first responders arrived. He said: 'He was screaming for help, and he wasn't sure how bad he was hurt. I could see that he was bleeding, and he was telling me he had some medical issues.' 'The house is totaled. I've never seen that much devastation on a house. I mean, I've seen cars hit houses, but not like this.' Charles Zeisloft, the owner of Zeisloft Trucking, told the local news station the driver had experienced a 'Grand Mal' seizure behind the wheel. He identified the driver as a man named Timmy, who has 25 years of experience and was on his way home when he crashed. Zeisloft said: 'Timmy, the driver, has been with us probably for 25 years. Loyal, dependable driver and he just lost his wife about a year ago.' He added that his employee called him once he came to after the crash and had no idea what happened. Zeisloft said: 'He wanted to tell me that he was in an accident. And that's what he called me about. I said, "Timmy, I'm already here". I said, "You are down in the basement of a home and I'm happy to hear you are OK".' Another neighbor told NBC Philadelphia the man inside the home was recovering from surgery when the crash happened. 'I feel really horrible for the driver, and I feel very sorry for that man cause he is elderly and apparently just had surgery and was using a walker. He's older,' one witness, Lori Denham, said. The homeowner's brother told CBS News Philadelphia that the man is recovering at the hospital, and he was sitting in his favorite chair when the truck crashed and sent him flying through the walls. Horrified neighbors told the local news outlets about the chaos that ensued after the crash. One neighbor, Samantha Burke, said: 'My son and I were walking out of our door when I heard a loud crash as we were coming out. The next thing I know there was a truck in our neighbor's yard, in his house." 'I heard my neighbor yelling, but the house was starting to crumble, so we couldn't do anything.'

Look at the Hole This 73,000-Pound Dump Truck Punched Through an NJ House
The latest car news, reviews, and features. Imagine you're sitting in your favorite chair when a dump truck smashes through your house like a 36-ton Kool-Aid man and sends you through two walls. That's what happened to one Woodbury Heights, New Jersey-native this past Tuesday. The driver lost consciousness at the wheel after suffering a medical emergency while hauling a load of concrete sand, and drove straight through the homeowner's house like it was tissue paper. Somehow, everyone made it out alive. In the dashcam video from ABC6 , you can see the moment when the driver loses consciousness, as the truck starts to veer left across the double yellow lines. According to Charles Zeisloft, owner of the trucking company, the fully loaded dump truck weighed about 73,000 pounds. The chaos such a truck can cause while out of control is unimaginable. And yet, the chaos was kept to a relative minimum. Outside of smashing through the house, the only damage caused by the runaway truck was to a telephone pole, which was snapped and uprooted like a toothpick after being hit by the massive hauler. Not only did it drive through the telephone pole as if it weren't there, but the impact didn't slow it down. You shudder to think what would have happened if it had a head-on collision with a car in oncoming traffic. Despite its potential for destruction, neither the driver nor the homeowner suffered any life-threatening injuries. While the homeowner was injured, he was conscious and able to call out to his neighbor, who came to help. 'I was able to make eye contact with him through a hole where the floor and well had separated, and I was able to talk to him for about 10 minutes until the paramedics got there,' neighbor David Keating told ABC6 . When you see the truck stuck inside the house, it looks like it just made a big hole. However, the house's structure was destroyed and shifted several feet off the foundation. After everyone was pulled out and sent to the hospital, and the truck was removed, the house needed to be torn down by a demolition crew. This could have been so much worse. Not only for the driver and the homeowner, but also for other drivers on the road, a woman who was reportedly walking her child down the same street moments earlier, or anyone who could've been hit by flying debris. Remarkably, no one was critically injured. And now I'm going to fear any heavy truck driving in the opposite direction to me. Got tips? Send 'em to tips@ Nico DeMattia is a staff writer at The Drive.
