A reportedly unoccupied garbage truck in Pittsburgh on Wednesday tried to make a quick getaway but lost control, tipping while careening down a hill (video below) and causing "major damage," according to WPXI. Besides hitting multiple cars, sideswiping a house, and wrecking an awning and hedges along the way, it destroyed a porch and caused a home's foundation to shift before crash-landing in the house's front yard. The house is now reportedly condemned.
"Preliminarily, it looks like workers were out of the truck moving items when the emergency brake possibly gave and the truck rolled down the hill," said a Public Safety spokesperson. Fortunately, nobody was injured.
