A man accidentally drove through a wall to his apartment in Belmont on Saturday, police said Sunday.

Firefighters and police officers responded at 2:30 p.m. to a report of a crash in the 500 block of Ralston Avenue.

A 57-year-old Belmont resident was backing up and parking his 1999 Ford F-150 truck when his foot got stuck on the gas pedal.
