Cement truck crashes into house

A cement truck has crashed into a double-storey house in Toongabbie this morning.

Around 7:45am, Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) crews were called to Portia Road over reports the mixer had collided with a car.

On arrival, firefighters found the truck had careered into the front wall of the house, impacting two gas cylinders and causing a water main to burst.

No one was inside the home at the time of the crash.

Both drivers were treated by NSW Ambulance paramedics for minor injuries.

The cause of the crash is under investigation.

Superintendent Adam Dewberry from Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) said this is a timely reminder that calling Triple Zero (000) when you are involved in or see a crash can be the difference between life and death.
