Truck crashes into Albuquerque home damaging gas, electric, and structure

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – A truck plowing through an Albuquerque home tore through a gas line and knocked out electricity. That’s not only left a family without their car but a place to stay.

What started as a low-key New Year’s Day for an Albuquerque family near Unser and McMahon quickly turned into the unexpected. “It was just the loudest crash like I thought something landed on our house or there was like a bunch of balloons. I was thinking did a gondola take off our roof? It was just a horrendous crash,” said Desiree Ginn, owner of the home.

Ginn and her husband were in their kitchen when they felt the house shake before knowing what happened they ran to check on their ten-year-old son. “We got upstairs and he was out of his bedroom freaked out said it wasn’t him we ran outside my husband came around the corner and just saw a car in the side our house,” said Ginn. Ginn said a truck was speeding through their neighborhood and lost control hitting another car before ripping through their home.
