| A pickup truck traveling northbound on Overland first crashed into a Mercedes Benz properly parked on the street. Then continuing approximately 20 yards and skipping a couple of other parked cars, the truck crashed into another properly parked car, a Honda Accord. The power of the first impact left the Mercedes completely blocking the driveway of one of our neighbors. While the second impact left the Honda Accord half way on the sidewalk. Both parked cars as well as the pickup truck were left in what appeared to be a "total" financial loss condition. Judging by the impacts with the parked vehicles, the pickup truck apparently was traveling at least at or above 60 MPH. |
