Dashcam video captured a landscaping dump truck driving along the Jersey Shore, when suddenly it swerves -- right into a house on Route 35 North in Point Pleasant Beach.
"I was in my living room here and I heard one big explosion and it shook the house," Carol Kasyan, a neighbor, said.
Kasyan heard a second explosion as the truck barreled straight into the house Wednesday, the damage extensive.
Chris Cochran is the owner of the home and had just left moments before with his family for a late lunch.
Crews were cleaning up Thursday but the memory Cochran has after this collision still sends shivers down his spine because where the area of impact, is the same area inside where his 15-month-old son plays. The family cat had to be rescued by a fireman from the debris, hiding under a sofa.
Police say the driver of this truck is a 55-year-old Point Pleasant man, but could not say how he lost control of his truck.
