A bus drove off the roadway on Thursday, striking an empty vehicle before landing on the roof of a house, according to a Juneau Police Department news release.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t

The crash, which occurred on Out the Road on the 18000 block of Glacier Highway, happened early in the morning, said JPD Lt. Krag Campbell in a news release.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t

The bus, owned by Goldbelt Inc., left the roadway, struck a parked pickup truck and went down the hillside, landing on the roof of a waterfront residence below. The truck and house were both empty, Campbell said. Both the truck and bus are totalled, Campbell said.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t

“They weren’t able to move the bus yesterday,” Campbell said in an email on Friday. “The plan was for the owners of the bus to get a crane.”<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t

The bus has subsequently been removed from the roof, which has some visible damage.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t

The 32-year-old man driving the vehicle was not injured in the crash and showed no signs of impairment, Campbell said, though he was taken to Bartlett Regional Hospital as a precaution. The crash may be a result of the driver feeling unwell, Campbell said.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t

“Occasionally when there are wrecks out the road like that, cars can go down the embankment,” Campbell said. “It’s pretty rare to hit a house, but always a concern with a crash like that.”<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t

Goldbelt did not immediately return a message seeking comment.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
