Pickup truck crashes into Cape Coral home, injuring 1 person

A pickup truck went off-road, crashing into a home along Kismet Parkway on Thursday afternoon in Cape Coral.

According to the Cape Coral Fire Department, the pickup truck left the roadway, rolled over and crashed into a home, ejecting the driver. He was the only person in the truck and had to be transported as a trauma alert.

According to a traffic report, the driver was going about 60 m.p.h. and the truck flipped two to three times before crashing into the home.

No one in the home was injured. A large hole was left in the home where the truck crashed. A building inspector checked to determine any damage to the integrity of the structure.

A short time later, a call came in that a propane tank at the home was leaking from its welded valve seal. CCFD emptied the tank.

Medics at the scene said that the driver did appear to be intoxicated and the smell of alcohol was on his person.

This is still an open investigation.
