Garbage Truck Crashes Into Washington House

This has not been a good news week for homes in the Pacific Northwest. First, there was the Portland, OR house that slid down a hill. Now comes word that a house in Bellingham, WA was destroyed by a runaway garbage truck.

On Wednesday morning, homeowner Doug Henderson was in his garage when he saw a blue blur careening towards his front door. The truck slammed through the front of the house, pushing it off its foundation. Luckily, nobody was hurt. The driver had been outside collecting garbage bins at the time, and neither Henderson nor his dog, who has inside, were injured. The house didn’t fare as well. They’re betting the only thing holding it up is the truck. Sadly, Henderson and his wife built the house only two years ago, calling it their dream home.
