We were told the family was upstairs sleeping at the time of the crash. State Police, OCSO,East Bloomfield-Holcomb Fire with multiple mutual aid called to the scene. The house is a total lose. Believe the vehicle rolled multiple times. A passenger was also in the vehicle. #roc pic.twitter.com/MgwokvgwuE

It appears the truck went off the road and took out a fire hydrant and a telephone pole & then crashed into the house. The first pic was the location of the fire hydrant. This shows the distance that he went. #roc pic.twitter.com/cAs1ZSvFT8

We were told by multiple neighbors that there was explosions coming from the home. Possible ammunition that was locked up in a safe. Had to be scary for firefighters. Also we were told a great job done by all first responders on scene. #roc pic.twitter.com/OphGUvJ3bn
