A McKinney homeowner says he is still stunned after a delivery driver drove into his fence and then drove off, leaving the scene.

Video the homeowner posted to YouTube shows the driver of the FedEx truck backing up and driving away, leaving a hole in the side of the fence.

"It was crazy," said homeowner Sankar Arumugam.

Arumugam said he just closed on the home last week, but had not moved in yet.

He was at the house Sunday afternoon making a list of potential repairs when he heard a loud crash.

He looked out an upstairs window and saw a truck in his yard. A family member started recording what was happening on his cell phone and caught the driver leaving the scene.

"I was going to help him," said Arumugam. "I was concerned he might be hurt, but the next moment he started pulling back and forth trying to free himself up and took off and just fled the scene."

The homeowner said he filed a report with the McKinney Police Department and contacted FedEx.

Sankar hopes FedEx pays for the damage and wants them to consider adding cameras to their trucks so they know what drivers are doing.

FedEx released the following statement to NBC 5 News:

"The behavior depicted in this video is inconsistent with the professionalism FedEx Ground expects from its service providers. Safety is our top priority, and we are grateful that no one was injured as a result of this incident. We offer our sincerest apologies and are in direct contact with the homeowner to resolve this matter."
