A retired Oamaru barber is used to close shaves, but this one was a little too close for comfort.
Peter Cartwright was given a rude awakening about 3am yesterday when a milk truck tore through the front of his house.
Sergeant Tony Woodbridge, of Oamaru, said the milk truck washeading south along Thames St and hit a parked car before smashing into the building.
It was believed the driver fell asleep at the wheel, Sgt Woodbridge said.
Once it went through the building, the truck ended up on its side and had to be lifted upright by a crane.
