SWAMPSCOTT -- A truck crashed into a Swampscott home on Saturday morning. The front porch and porch roof have extensive damage.
Police were called to Banks Terrance around 11 a.m.

The driver, from Jay & Jay Trucking, told officers that the brakes were set at the time.
Both homeowners were there at the time but no one was hurt.
A refrigerator came out of the truck and hit and damaged a car in the driveway/
The truck is still in place because it appears to be supporting the porch, according to police.
A building commissioner responded to the scene to check the structural integrity of the home.
National Grid also responded to the scene and shut off the gas to the home as a precaution.
