Tampa, FL (November 26, 2018) - A 71-year-old woman from Tampa suffered critical injuries after a pickup truck slammed into her house on Sunday, November 25th. The woman, who has not been identified, was sitting on a couch in her living room when the truck crashed through her front wall.
Deputies with the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office responded to the scene, along with EMS workers. They found the woman pinned against the couch upon their arrival. The woman was freed after about 30 minutes and airlifted to St. Joseph's Hospital where she was listed in critical condition. The truck driver fled the scene following the crash and has not been apprehended by police at this time.
