The Western Express truck crashed into a house along Kutztown Road (U.S. Route 222) near Church Road in Maxatawny Township around 8 p.m. Both the truck driver and a person inside the home were trapped for about an hour before rescuers got them out.
Both people were taken to the hospital. Officials have not yet revealed their conditions.
