KDKA's Shelby Cassesse talked to the driver, who said he went to deliver a package and put on the e-break, which "gave out." The van then rolled down a hill and into the house.
The van rolled over the gas meter, and Peoples Gas arrived to turn off the gas so the van could be towed.
Officials say the call came in around 5 p.m. and no injuries were reported.
