Title

Damaged house at Long Lane

Description

"In the wrong place: as if wondering, "why this had to happen?" members of a St. Andrew household are seen looking at the 8-ton truck which crashed into their house along Long Lane early yesterday morning. Reports said the truck was travelling south along Long Lane at about 2:00am when it crashed into the house exposing a bedroom. The driver, whose name was not ascertained, was said to have been pinned behind the steering wheel and had to be pried out. Holding the truck door from right are brothers Rudolph Gopie and Noel Kisson while their sister Carmen Kisson peers from the damaged building."
