Family displaced after driver crashes stolen truck into central Fresno home, police say

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- A central Fresno family was displaced after a driver in a stolen truck slammed into their home.

Fresno police say 30-year-old Lajazz Smith stole the vehicle while it was idling.

Around 9 pm Thursday, officers tracked it down outside of a business and attempted to pull over the driver.

That's when Smith took off.

Officers on the ground did not pursue, but air support followed the vehicle until it crashed with another car and then ran into the home at Robinson and Dakota.

The drivers in both vehicles and four people inside the home had minor injuries.

The pickup went through the garage and ended up in the family's living space.

Smith was arrested and booked into the Fresno County Jail on multiple felony charges.

Police say drugs or alcohol were not factors.
