Police and emergency services were called to the scene around 12.30 on Saturday and the car and truck remain banked out the front of the Holdsworth Road home.
The truck was parked in a yard near the intersection of Holdsworth Road and Holmes Road.
Bendigo police acting sergeant Ian Randall said the driver did not put on the brakes and the truck rolled down through the intersection.
It first crashed into a red car, driven by an L-plater, who has reportedly been taken to hospital.
The truck continued to roll into a driveway and crashed into a parked car, pushing the car through a fence and into a lounge room where two people were sitting.
Two people were sitting in the lounge room at the time. Acting sergeant Randall said they were unhurt, but shocked by the incident.
The accident took place near the Prince of Wales Showground, where thousands are expected to converge for the Bendigo National Swap Meet this weekend.
The news comes as Bendigo Police and the SES also attended an eerily similar incident last night.
Emergency services were called around 9.30pm on Friday night when an unoccupied vehicle’s brakes failed and it rolled into the carport attached to a house.
