The driver of a box truck that crashed into a house in Raleigh was arrested early Friday morning after running from the scene.
Raleigh police told WRAL News that the box truck driven by 27-year-old Kenyon Tyree Pelzer crashed into the house on Raleigh Pines Drive around 12:40 a.m. Friday. He left the scene before authorities arrived.
No one inside the house was hurt.
Pelzer was charged with three misdemeanor counts of hit-and-run and leaving the scene with property damage, and with a commercial DWI. The warrant for his arrest stated that he damaged the exterior of the house and the backs of two cars.
The WRAL Breaking News Tracker captured video of the truck’s cab hitting the corner of a brick house.
The people inside the house told WRAL News they woke up to a loud crashing sound and realized a truck hit their home.
The next door neighbor said the truck also damaged three of their vehicles parked in the driveway. It left damage to their house as well. Pelzer’s arrest warrant doesn’t list any additional charge for damages to this other home or cars.
Raleigh police said the driver of the box truck was found before 2:30 a.m.
The box truck had a “LCM Logistics LLC” logo on the side with Durham, NC underneath. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s database lists the box truck as ‘inactive.’
