A truck has crashed into the living room of a home in Henderson, in West Auckland.
The accident happened about 4pm on Hornsey Ave.
The medium-sized truck was parked on a steep hill while workers unloaded building materials from it, when it began to roll down the hill.
A police spokeswoman said the truck rolled about 100m before it crashed through the wall of the brick house and into the living room.
