A truck was inches from crashing into a residential home after it veered off the road and struck a bus stop and fence.

Emergency services were called to Hamstead Road, Manningham, in Adelaide’s inner north-east, just before 10.30am on Tuesday after reports of a serious crash.

Police allege a 31-year-old truck driver from NSW lost control and veered off the road into the bus stop and fence.

After the crash, the VW truck was towed and the driver taken to hospital for medical treatment.

The condition of the driver is yet to be confirmed.

Police said the driver was taken to hospital for a routine blood sample they are investigating the circumstances that led to the crash.

This comes after a livestock truck rolled in the Adelaide Hills, during an accident at Mount Torrens Road, Lobethal on Friday, February 24.
