Man dies after vehicle slams into Juneau home

Authorities say a man has died after crashing his pickup truck into a Juneau home.

Officers had pulled an unconscious Craig Stephen Temanson from the vehicle Saturday morning. The 63-year-old Juneau victim was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead.

Police say Temanson was the only occupant in the vehicle when he veered off the road and drove over a ditch, two driveways and a flower bed before slamming into the residence.

Homeowner Scott Philip and his son were the only two people in the residence at the time of the incident. Neither of them was injured.

The crash caused an estimated $80,000 in damage to the home, which was raised 18 inches off its foundation.

Police do not suspect alcohol to be a factor in the case.
