Speed and alcohol were believed to have been factors of the crash, Warren County Prosecutor James L. Pfeiffer told the outlet, noting the crash scene was one of the worst his office has ever seen.

John Nunn was driving eastbound in the red Dodge Ram when he tried passing two other cars, lost control, hit a mailbox and a stone pillar as the truck went into the house around 3:30 a.m., the outlet says citing Pfeiffer. Photos from the scene show the truck facing upward into the hole exposing the bedroom.

Nunn suffered minor injuries while his passenger, Tyler Balog, was pronounced dead, and a homeowner was airlifted in critical condition, Pfeiffer said.
