A pickup truck struck the side of a School Street home after the driver lost control.
A Watertown resident got a nasty surprise when a full-sized pickup truck struck her house.
At about 3:2o p.m. on Dec. 30, the pickup truck headed southbound on School Street crossed the center line, drove up on the sidewalk, clipped a utility pole, hit a bush and then struck the concrete wall on the side of a home, said Watertown Police Lt. Michael Lawn.
“The driver had a medical issue causing him to temporarily loose control of the vehicle,” Lawn said.
Resident Heidi Kennedy said that her teenage sons often play in the driveway right where the vehicle ended up.
