- 02/13/26
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.
