PLAINVILLE, Mass. (WHDH) – A tire on a North Attleborough DPW truck came loose Wednesday and went airborne, smashing through the window of a home in Plainville.
Crews were called at around 12 p.m. to a home on South Street for a report of an accident involving a dump truck. Video from Sky7 showed a window that had been clearly knocked out and glass on the ground.
“I heard this big crash and I ran into the bedroom thinking a picture had fallen off the wall,” homeowner Gil Bagley told 7News. “Well, it wasn’t a picture.”
The tire broke the window, tore down the screen and landed in the backyard. Bagley said he was out in the yard shortly before the tire flew off.
“We were just very grateful that we didn’t get hurt,” said Bagley.
It is not clear what caused the tire to come loose. No injuries were reported.
North Attleborough has not responded to requests for comment but the homeowners said they expect the town to pay for needed repairs.
