Robert Preston Jr./DouglasNow.com This is the path the Ford pickup took as it flipped into city hall Sunday morning. After striking the sidewalk, it flipped across the grass before hitting the east side of city hall. The driver did not survive. Around 8 a.m. Sunday, a red Ford pickup crashed into the east side of the new city hall building. The driver lost his life in the accident.
The vehicle was northbound on South Pearl Avenue traveling at a high rate of speed. It went airborne as it crossed the railroad tracks and landed sideways in Pearl Avenue. It skidded until it hit the sidewalk, which caused the vehicle to flip. The truck flipped several times and then struck the east side of city hall, causing cosmetic but no structural damage.
The driver, who has not been identified, was the only occupant of the vehicle. He did not survive the accident.
Authorities have not released any statement regarding the cause of the crash.
