A man was sent to the hospital early Tuesday morning after he crashed his truck into an apartment in Chandler and narrowly missed running into a couple that was asleep inside, according to police.

The man was driving the truck down an alley near Ray Road and Country Club Drive at about 2:30 a.m. Tuesday when the truck spun 90 degrees and smashed through the apartment, police said.

Investigators believe the truck’s speed and the driver’s apparent impairment were factors in the wreck, according to police.

Two people were sleeping on the couch at the time the car hit the wall. The couch was brushed by the truck, but all the debris from the wall toppled on the sleeping couple, police said.

Both people inside the apartment were taken to a hospital for evaluations, police said, and the truck’s driver was also hospitalized for his injuries.
