UPDATE: Driver Who Crashed Into House Facing Additional Charges (Photo) - 03/03/26

UPDATE 3/3/26: Additional charges have been filed against Jacob Hankins, the driver who recently crashed a truck into a Tigard home.

 

In the crash debris at the scene, officers found a handgun and a rifle that were later confirmed to be stolen from Columbia County. Hankins is a convicted felon and is not allowed to possess guns.

 

On Friday, February 27, 2026, a Washington County Grand Jury indicted Hankins on nine criminal charges, including:

  • Two counts of felon in possession of a firearm
  • Reckless driving
  • Five counts of recklessly endangering another person (for the five family members who were in the home at the time of the crash)
  • Criminal mischief in the second degree

Hankins is also being held on a parole violation. He remains in custody at the Washington County Jail.

 

(ORIGINAL 2/13/26): The driver of a truck was arrested after he crashed into a house in the middle of the night. Fortunately, the family inside was not hurt.

 

It happened just before 3:00 AM in the 13000 block of SW Larkwood Place. Witnesses reported the driver was driving recklessly and speeding before the crash. 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.

 

When officers arrived, the driver was initially unconscious, and both he and a passenger were trapped inside the truck. Firefighters with Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue had to extricate them both, and they were taken to the hospital with minor injuries.

 

Thankfully, the family in the home was not hurt, but there is significant damage to their house.

 

The driver has been identified as Jacob Hankins, age 33. He was charged with reckless driving and recklessly endangering.

 

We’re thankful no one was seriously hurt. We appreciate the help from neighboring agencies in responding to this crash, including TVF&R, Beaverton Police, King City Police and the Washington County Sheriff’s Office.
