EDMONDS — A dump truck overturned and crashed into an Edmonds home Wednesday morning, briefly knocking out power to hundreds of residents, authorities said.

Just after 8 a.m. the dump truck slid into the carport of a home near 75th Place W and N Meadowdale Road, officials said. No one was hurt inside the house.

Firefighters and neighbors pulled out the dump truck driver, according to South County Fire. The driver, a 43-year-old man, was taken to Providence Regional Medical Center Everett. South County Fire reported the man suffered life-threatening injuries.

Edmonds police were investigating a brake failure as the cause of the crash.

The crash knocked down power lines, affecting over 500 homes, according to police.

By 1:30 p.m., the truck had been towed from the home. It was unclear how much damage the crash caused.
