Truck Ends Up on Patio after Crashing through Fence in Peoria
Police received a call earlier this week about a Peoria accident involving a truck which crashed through a fence and ended on the backyard Patio of a home Wednesday morning (AZ Central 05/11/2011).
According to report, a 40-year-old woman lost control of her truck and crashed into a patio of a home located on the 6900 block of West Shaw Butte Drive in Peoria. The owner was at home together with his 4-year-old daughter but neither was injured.
Peoria police say the woman was travelling at high speed and hit the rear of another vehicle causing her truck to veer off the road and crash into the fence.
She suffered non-life threatening injuries and was transported to a local hospital for treatment.
Two people were on board the other vehicle, an 83-year old woman and 88-year-old man. The latter was taken to the hospital for breathing difficulty but did not suffer any serious injuries from the truck accident.
Police cannot determine yet whether alcohol was a factor in the crash. The driver has not been cited as authorities continue the investigation.
Speeding has been a factor in thousands of fatal crashes each year. A 2004 report by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reveals that 30 percent of fatal crashes involved speeding, killing 13,192 people.
