Runaway Truck Hits Beacon Hill Home



SEATTLE —

A runaway truck smashed into the porch of a Beacon Hill home Tuesday and nearly struck the home's owner.

Mary Charleston watched from her deck as a white panel truck started rolling down the hill.

It was coming straight toward her and showed no sign of stopping.

"When I realized it wasn't going to stop, I started screaming 'cuz I started backing up 'cuz I was on the edge of the porch," she said. "So when it hit, I think I was in shock."

No one was hurt, but the front porch was seriously damaged.
