WASHINGTON TWP. — An out-of-control pickup truck crashed into several condominiums on Thistledown Court in the Meadows at about 10:18 p.m. Friday.
The driver, Wayne A. Waugh, 72 of Franklinville, first hit a utility pole with his 2003 Ford F150 pickup truck, police said. The truck continued across a grassy field, then hit the condos, said police.
Waugh was taken to Kennedy University Hospital where he was treated for minor injuries, police said. No one else was injured.
Investigators aren’t sure why Waugh lost control of the truck, which caused severe damage to a few homes, said police. Residents who were displaced stayed with relatives or received lodging assistance from the American Red Cross, police said.
Assisting at the scene were the Washington Township fire department, Gloucester County Rescue, Inspira Paramedics, Washington Township construction officials, Washington Township Office of Emergency Management and the American Red Cross.
