HAVERHILL, MASS. (WHDH) - A scary split second in a quiet Haverhill neighborhood.
A box truck lost control on Seven Sisters Road, going off the road onto a home’s front lawn.
It clipped the home before taking a deep plunge into the woods and landing between two homes.
“I came a few minutes later, I can see so many firetrucks, firefighters, so many police,” said Poliana Morais, a neighbor.
Neighbors say they feel for the delivery driver, a familiar face in the neighborhood.
“Everyday he comes through here,” said neighbor Ernie Guimaraes. “Everyday he drops something here, every week.”
Across the street, a young boy was dropped off by the school bus and walked into his home moments before the terrifying crash.
“Scary, because my son, literally, one minute he cross the street, and go in the house and then it happened,” said Morais.
“I was getting scared because I knew my brother was going to be home early because he had a half day, and just seeing him from my vision crossing the street and having the car come and hit him,” said Joao Victor Morais. “Thank god nothing happened to him its just so relieving to have him here right now.”
Neighbors are thankful no one was outside when the truck lost control.
