Pickup truck crashes into motel, waking man

? Blake Icenhower got a one-ton wake-up call.

As the 19-year-old lay in bed Friday morning at a hotel, co-worker Hoby Armstrong went outside to start his Dodge diesel truck. Armstrong said he started the engine and stepped out of the cab.

That’s when the lifted truck roared through the motel’s brick-and-mortar wall, pushed aside a bed and went toward Icenhower. Icenhower said Armstrong was able to jump back into the cab and stop the truck a foot away from hitting him.
