State Police are expected to be called in to inspect a dump truck that was involved in a crash that heavily damaged a home, a car and a house.  Authorities say a teenager driving a dump truck owned by Tri-State Welding in Charleroi, sideswiped a car Monday in Speers, before traveling through a house at 906 Anne Avenue.  Authorities say the incident started just before eleven a.m. on Maple Avenue, near the Speers, Interstate 70 Interchange, when the truck, loaded with stones, sideswiped the car and then slammed into the house, destroying half the building and coming to rest on its side.  The collision left the kitchen and living room exposed.  A resident of the home, nineteen-year-old Jason Viatale was evacuated from the house with no injuries.  He was in a basement bedroom at the time of the crash.  The truck driver and two women in the car were taken to Mon Valley Hospital for treatment of what appeared to be minor injuries.
