MIFFLIN COUNTY, Pa. (WHP) — Two people were reportedly injured after a tanker truck overturned in Lewistown Sunday.
Dispatch confirmed the crash happened around 12pm at the intersection of North Grand Street and West 3rd Street.
Fire officials say a car crashed into the tanker, causing the rollover. Both a driver and officer were initially trapped after the crash.
The officer was able to free themselves, but officials say the driver had to be physically removed.
The tanker, a vehicle with the Junction Fire Company, was on its way to a brush fire on Ferguson Valley Road that had gotten out of control.
Orlando Reyes told CBS 21's Sarah Burns that he was getting ready to take a nap when the tanker came barreling into his apartment living room.
"When I was starting to go to sleep I heard a big noise, and I saw my window go down and when I opened it I saw two guys in the truck. It was upside down-- they were hanging there."
In addition to damaging Reyes' apartment, a telephone pole was snapped in half, bringing down several wires across the street with it.
Fuel from the tanker was also leaking onto the road.
Neighbor Natasha Heiss was also home at the time of the crash. A friend of Reyes, she said she's relieved he's okay, but was startled this morning after seeing the crash.
"I was scared I just looked across and that was my papi's house so I just had to find him, so I ran out the door and I was just running around the street looking for him, and then I found him and thank God he's okay," she said.
The tanker was towed away from the scene in pieces after several hours.
