Joe Ferson, who lives at the home, said he was inside the house with his daughter at the time of the crash.

"I hear this commotion like a freight train and the next thing I know, the walls of my house are lifting off the ground," Ferson said. "My truck's in my living room, water spraying everywhere, and I come outside to a bus into my truck into my house."

No kids were on the bus at the time of the crash, but the bus driver was taken to the hospital. 

The Red Cross was called to help assist the family while the Forward Township building inspector assesses the damage.
