9News understands the truck driver was at a property across the road unloading skip bins when his truck started rolling back.
Cooke's son, Cameron, said he was in "disbelief".
"I just got a phone call from Mum. She was distressed, she couldn't make heads or tails of it," he told 9News.
"She said a truck came in through her bedroom. It's pretty scary."
The local council building surveyor has been called to the scene to assess the site, while investigations into the incident continue.
