San Francisco police are looking into a freak accident that killed a man.
A man was killed when a runaway Uhaul barreled down a San Francisco street and pinned him against another car.According to police, the man who died was in a runaway U-Haul moving truck that eventually crashed into a Fedex truck. Investigators are still trying to piece together how the truck ran away in the first place, but they say the occupants of the truck were helping someone move, when the truck suddenly began rolling down the hill.
Police told KTVU that a man who was in the passenger seat as the truck began rolling away yanked on the steering wheel, and swerved the uhaul into a parked FedEx truck. "As the truck began rolling he was able to kind of steer it away from pedestrians, I don't know how many people were on the street at the time, but he was able to steer it away from pedestrians and other cars and into that truck," Moreno said. Witnesses to the aftermath of the crash say the older man who was struck was the grandfather of the young man who managed to steer the U-Haul into the FedEx truck.
Police are investigating to see if there was some kind of mechanical failure or operator error that led to the runaway U-Haul.
