Man plows truck into Fort Worth home

A pick-up truck driver, who finished treatments for a brain tumor last year, may have suffered a seizure before plowing straight through a Fort Worth house around 2:00 a.m. Sunday in the 3500 block of Sagecrest Terrace. Police arrested the driver, 23-year-old Hudson Boyd Hamner, on unrelated traffic warrants, but may also charge him with reckless driving. The owners of the home escaped injury despite claims that Hamner tried maneuvering the car once inside the home after the crash. "...He came right in through here, which is the dining room," said Stewart Henderson, the home's owner. Henderson, his wife and two sons huddled near the master bedroom after they watched what what they believed was Hamner attempting to back up his truck. "[The car moved] back forth, back forth, smashing stuff [and] knocking out walls," Henderson said. However, the driver was prevented from taking off because he hit a tree several times and broke an axle. While Henderson said Hamner appeared unfazed, the rest of the family said the event startled them. "...It was scary," said Clay Henderson, Stewart's son. Hamner's mother said she thinks her son may have had a seizure. However, he completed treatments for a brain tumor and had been cleared by doctors in December. Henderson said police may only charge Hamner with reckless driving despite the major damage done to his home. "To me, it is well over $100,000," said contractor Bryan Bogle of the estimated damage costs. Henderson said he does have home insurance. E-mail ccavazos@wfaa.com
