Gallery: Pickup Truck Smashes House on Tulsa St.

Driver taken away in handcuffs.

An out-of-control pickup truck caromed it's way through a Chatsworth neighborhood Tuesday afternoon before hitting a curb and apparently going airborne over a manicured lawn and plowing into a one-story brick house.

The driver climbed out the driver-side window.

The damaged lawn sprinkler system sent water skyward, geyser fashion, before neighbors helped shut the valve.
