Despite the fact that a post came straight through his windshield and nearly impaled him, the driver in a recent crash was upset that his coffee had spilled all over his Ford.<\/p>\n
The truck driver was on 41st Street early Saturday, Nov. 1 when a car came crashing into him, redirecting the truck through a fence and into two parked cars and a garage.<\/p>\n
Alisha Mills heard the commotion around 6:50 a.m. and ran out to see what happened at the corner of her house.<\/p>\n
“We had just woke up and it sounded like a freight train coming through,” said Mills, who typically has three vehicles in her driveway but found an extra one that day.<\/p>\n
While heartbroken to see her car damaged– which had just been fixed from a prior incident –her partner’s prized classic Mustang which “he’s had for decades because his parents street raced Mustangs when he was a kid” was also damaged.<\/p>\n
But seeing the truck and driver, she was thankful no one was hurt.<\/p>\n
“One of our fence posts went through his windshield and looks like it should’ve impaled him in his heart. He was just mad his coffee spilled all over the place.”<\/p>\n
The truck also took out the neighbour’s fence and a fruit tree.<\/p>\n
“It was just a couple people heading to work who had some unfortunate circumstances that caused a whole string of unfortunate circumstances for our neighbourhood,” said Mills, grateful for everyone being so kind, and meeting some neighbours they didn’t know.<\/p>\n
Vernon North Okanagan RCMP said the truck was broadsided by a Toyota Camry driving through on 27th Avenue.<\/p>\n
The driver of the Toyota was issued a violation ticket under the Motor Vehicle Act for failing to yield after stopping.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
