Dog Crashes Truck into House

Redding, California experienced something new on Wednesday afternoon: a dog accelerated a truck into a house.
The dog was seated in the front seat of the truck originally. Apparently he felt the need to use the bathroom, and could not wait for his driver to stop. He began his business on the center consul but his foot slipped. The dog then fell down near the driver’s feet and he pushed down on the accelerator.
The driver attempted to halt the vehicle but he failed, and the truck smashed into a house.
According to a neighbor, the driver claimed that he had the brake pedal all the way to the floor, but could not stop.
No one in the house or the truck was injured. The same neighbor explains that the boys were out of the house at the time, which is fortunate because they may have been at risk for injuries.
The neighborhood seems to understand that it was an accident and are just all thankful that no one was hurt.
The accident occurred at Bobwhite Way and Partridge Drive around 2 p.m.
This crash seems humorous because it was caused by a dog, but accidents like this can lead to much more serious consequences. Vehicular collisions are destructive enough, but having one go through a house can damage much more than property. Thankfully in this instance, there were no fatalities or injuries.
