Gravel Truck Loses Grip: Brake Failure Crash

A flipped gravel truck slightly blocked the intersection of Highway 99 and Roosevelt Blvd. after it crashed Sunday afternoon.

Police reports say nobody was injured.

The truck was headed north on Highway 99 when the driver became aware that he’d lost the air line to the truck’s brakes, police say.

The driver made a sharp right turn onto Roosevelt Blvd. to avoid hitting a pedestrian in the intersection, Officer Rodney Thrower said.
