A RUNAWAY driverless truck has smashed into a harbourside home in Sydney's east, causing major structural damage.
It is understood no-one was in the house when the 19 tonne truck crashed into the front foyer of a two-storey house in Tivoli Avenue, Rose Bay, about 7.45am (AEST) this morning.
The unladen vehicle, which had been parked on a vacant block next door, rolled down an embarkment and onto an elevated driveway leading to the house.
NSW fire brigade spokesman Gordan Boath said it was believed that none of the four residents was home at the time, and no-one was injured.
Mr Boath said the house had suffered damage to its roof and walls.
"The cabin of the truck has caused serious structural damage to the front of the house," he said.
The brigade quickly cleaned up 100 litres of diesel fuel that spilled from the truck's ruptured fuel tank.
