SUNNYVALE (CBSDFW.COM) - The driver of an 18 wheeler was killed when he crashed into the back of a Sunnyvale home not far from I-20 Friday afternoon.

Police said the driver, who worked for Alabama Motor Express, suffered a medical emergency, which caused him to lose control of the truck.

He was picking up a load of materials to transport back to Alabama when he passed the entrance to a shipping yard. He drove through a neighborhood, leaving a trial of debris in his wake after hitting the house.

The home owner was asleep inside when it happened, but wasn't hurt.

No one else was hurt in the crash. Police have not said whether or not they will file charges.

The driver of the 18-wheeler has been identified as 56-year-old Thomas Ingraldi.
