The Brudnok family went to sleep on February 12, 2026, expecting to wake up on Friday morning and go on about their day, per usual. But they got a wake-up in the middle of the night that was anything but typical. It wasn’t a barking dog or a smoke alarm that awoke the family. Instead, a pickup truck had crashed into their Oregon home and wound up in their bathroom. A neighbor’s doorbell camera caught the entire terrifying ordeal. Miraculously, no one was seriously injured, but it’s a night they will never forget.
KGW reported that the accident happened around 3 a.m. at David Brudnok’s home in the 13000 block of Southwest Larkwood Place in Tigard. A short time before the crash, witnesses reportedly saw a man driving recklessly on Southwest Schools Ferry Road, police said.
Brudnok told KGW he had no idea what had happened but the sound awoke him.
“I didn’t expect a flying truck,” Brudnok told the outlet. “I just heard this, BOOM! And the house shakes… I get down the stairs, and I realize the whole front of my house is completely just gone.”
“Officers believe he was heading westbound on SW Scholls Ferry Road, hit a dirt mound on the side of the road and launched roughly 100 feet into the air and over a 3-foot brick wall before crashing into the side of the house,” a police news release shared.
Incredible Nest camera footage from across the street shows the airborne truck literally fly into Brudnok’s home. It’s truly astonishing that no one died. When officers from the Tigard Police Department arrived, they found the driver, 33-year-old Jacob Hankins, unresponsive. His passenger walked away from the crash.
Hankins faces charges of reckless driving and reckless endangerment, KGW reported. Police did not mention anything about drugs or alcohol playing a role in the accident. The crash remains under investigation.
Police shared the footage on social media, and followers could not believe what they saw. It truly looks like something from a movie.
“This is the problem with time travel, them houses where not there in 1955,” someone joked in the comments section of the post.
Another person recounted a similar experience from years ago. “Same thing happened to the house caddy corner from us in 1980. The car was halfway in the house, right where the daughters bedroom was,” the person wrote. “Thank God the family was out of town visiting the grandparents.”
We can’t imagine what the driver was thinking in the moment, but he is one lucky man. Yikes.
