A woman has died after a speeding truck crashed into her San Bernardino home, pinning her in the kitchen, authorities said Friday.

The truck smashed about 10 feet into the house near Date Street East and Blythe Avenue shortly after 9:30 p.m. Thursday, pinning the woman between the front bumper and the kitchen stove and sending chunks of a dividing wall into the windshields of parked cars.

Authorities had to use the jaws of life to wrest the driver out of the truck and the woman from between the front bumper and the stove, said Tom Rubio, a spokesman for the San Bernardino City Fire Department.

The driver, who was described as 18 or 19 years old, was semi-conscious with minor cuts and scrapes but no other visible external injuries, Rubio said. Both he and the woman were taken to Loma Linda University Medical Center in Loma Linda, where the woman later died.


The three or four family members who been sitting in the adjoining room watching television were unharmed, Rubio said.
