Linn County Sheriff’s deputies, responding to a report of a vehicle crashed into a house at 10:25 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 9, found this 2017 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup smashed through a wall on Hayden Drive, west of Lebanon. The truck went through the front window and 
came to rest in the living room. Only the rear portion of the pickup was sticking out of the house, according to a Sheriff’s report. Deputies identified the driver as Haven Austin Hansen, 22, of Lebanon and his passenger as Leif Jacob Erickson, 27, of Sweet Home. Deputies determined alcohol was a factor in the crash. Riley said Hansen’s blood alcohol content was almost three times the legal limit of .08. Hansen was arrested for driving under the influence of intoxicants, reckless driving, and driving while suspended misdemeanor. The truck was towed from the scene. The Lebanon Fire Department assisted the family in boarding up the front portion of the home.
