August 24, 2010
Los Angeles - A family of three were killed after a truck travelling on Highway 154 lifted off the road and crashed onto their house at Santa Barbara County.
A father, mother, and a child sustained fatal injuries after the truck trailer lost its brakes, hit two parked cars, and hurled away from the road onto the house.
Reports said that the truck had two trailers with 26 ton of gravel, heading off Highway 154. It initially tried to avoid crashing onto a hotel and landed on the embankment instead, where the house was not visible from the road. The truck driver sustained minor face laceration.
Santa Barbara County fire officers said that the truck caused major property damage on the house. Police officers are investigating details on the cause of accident.
