The driver of a box truck was hurt Wednesday morning after the truck slammed into a Cecil County home, nearly destroying it, the Cecilton Volunteer Fire Co. said.

The firefighters responded to the crash around 9:30 a.m. in the 200 block of West Main Street in Cecilton. Cecilton Fire Chief Jason S. Reamy said the driver had a medical emergency and passed out at the wheel, causing the crash.

Reamy said the driver suffered minor injuries and was able to pull himself out of the truck. Incredibly, the residents were at home at the time of the crash but were not hurt by the damage.

Reamy said the home suffered so much damage that it was condemned.
