WA woman shocked as prime mover smashes into her home

A West Australian woman sitting in her lounge on Friday night got a rude shock when a prime mover careered into her front bedroom.

The driver of the truck lost control in Wickepin, southeast of Perth, at 9.30pm on Friday and collided with the woman's house, partially entering her bedroom.

The 43-year-old man driving the truck had to be rescued from the cab and was taken to Narrogin Hospital with minor injuries.

The damage to the home is estimated at $43,000.

A prime mover tow truck and a fork lift are expected to be required to remove the truck from the house.
