WOODBURY HEIGHTS, N.J. — Emergency crews rushed to a chaotic scene Tuesday afternoon after a dump truck plowed into a home in New Jersey.

According to police reports, the truck driver was heading north on Woodbury-Glassboro Road when the vehicle veered off the path around 1:30 p.m., hitting a telephone pole located at Fairview Avenue in Gloucester County.

Captured in dashcam footage provided by our affiliate, 6ABC Action News in Philadelphia, the video shows the truck accelerating to 50mph after veering off, before crashing into a residence on Stratford Avenue.

A neighbor was holding her baby and was heading outside when she heard the crash.

Rescuers are on the scene after a dump truck smashed into a house in Gloucester County, New Jersey.

“My son and I were stepping out of our house when I was startled by a loud crash,” shared Samantha Burke. “Suddenly, there was a truck in the yard of our neighbor, crashing into his house.”

“I heard my neighbor yelling,” Burke continued, “but the house was starting to crumble, so we couldn’t do anything.”

The neighbor inside the home was taken to the hospital to be evaluated.

Police believe the dump truck driver had a medical emergency prior to the crash.

The driver was trapped in the truck for more than two hours but has since been rescued. Officials said the driver was alert and talking.

Video from Chopper 6 showed the truck almost entirely inside the home.

Debris could be seen a few houses away, followed by tire tracks in the lawns of neighboring homes leading to the crash scene.

Firefighters were seen trying to shore up the front of the house before it was demolished Tuesday night.

Woodbury-Glassboro Road is shut down between Elm Avenue and Chestnut Avenue, and police expect it to be closed for an extended period of time.
