Unoccupied pickup truck crashes into Selden home, police say

An unoccupied pickup truck crashed into the front of a Selden home Tuesday, police said.

The truck had been parked in a driveway of the home across the street, police said. The vehicle somehow rolled across the street and down an embankment leading to the front of the Oneida Avenue home, which it struck at about 10:15 a.m., police said.

There were no injuries and no criminality was involved, police said.
