According to a representative of Jefferson County 9-1-1, they received a call around 12:15 a.m. on Monday, October 14, reporting that a truck had crashed into a house along U.S. 322 near Emerickville in Pine Creek Township.

Pine Creek Volunteer Fire Department, Jefferson County EMS, and LifeFlight were dispatched to the scene.

Punxsutawney-based State Police also responded to the scene.

ExploreClarion.com reached out to Shawn Miller, the owner of the house that was struck in the crash.

According to Miller, he, his wife, Amber, their two children, and their niece were all in the house, sleeping upstairs, at the time of the crash.

Miller said the driver of the truck was heading from Reynoldsville to Brookville when the crash occurred.

“He went through the neighbor’s yard, then hit my driveway, and went airborne and hit the guide wire that holds the phone pole up, which snapped the phone pole and ripped the electrical lines off the house,” Miller said.

While the family does have homeowner’s insurance, at this point, they don’t know how things are going to be handled, or where they will be staying for the foreseeable future.

“The Red Cross was here, and they’re helping us out, and the neighbors…we’re just so relieved to have these good neighbors, every single one of them around us, I just can’t thank them enough. We’re truly blessed.”
