Daniel Blanco was startled by an unusual sound while at home at about 8:40 a.m. on Monday morning.
B次元官网网址淚t sounded like someone dropped a couple pans, there was a bang, and the house shook a bit,B次元官网网址� Blanco said. B次元官网网址淚 kind of panicked, I ran outside and found this car in my house.B次元官网网址�
Blanco lives in his family home on Sims Avenue, about two houses from Seaton Street in the Tillicum neighbourhood.
What Blanco heard was the sound of a 2018 GMC Canyon colliding into the window of his sisterB次元官网网址檚 ground floor room.
B次元官网网址淭hereB次元官网网址檚 glass everywhere, stuff everywhere, my sisterB次元官网网址檚 room is a mess,B次元官网网址� he said.
Luckily, his sister was not home at the time and the driver, a friend of his fatherB次元官网网址檚, is also OK. The damage to the home is yet to be determined. The truck worked but suffered substantial damage to the front end.
Saanich Fire arrived on scene with several engines but were soon dismissed. In the end the tow truck driver used the CanyonB次元官网网址檚 four-wheel-drive function to back it out of the house and drive it onto a flatbed.
The driver, a friend of the homeowner, had stopped by briefly with the GMC that he bought only a week ago. When he tried to reverse off the boulevard he instead drove into the yard and, into the house, he said.
B次元官网网址淎ll of a sudden I was going in there [the yard], I pressed the brake, [but] the brake doesnB次元官网网址檛 work, it just went,B次元官网网址� he said. B次元官网网址淚t went forward, I pressed the brake, I was desperateB次元官网网址� nothing I could doB次元官网网址� it just went. It was so scary, it happened too fast.B次元官网网址�
