A driver trying to unload a trunk full of firewood in his Indianapolis backyard accidentally drove through his own home Sunday evening. The Indianapolis Fire Department said the mishap resulted in no injuries.
The driver was attempting to move the logs directly from the car to a backyard woodpile, according to an Indianapolis Fire Department post. The brief report did not identify the driver or explain what caused the vehicle to leave its intended path.

A routine woodpile chore took a sharp turn
What began as a straightforward unloading job became an unusually literal home-entry call for firefighters. The department's account did not say how much of the vehicle entered the residence or how extensive the property damage was.
IFD said no one was injured. Its post did not provide information about towing, citations or a possible follow-up investigation.
