“I saw two trucks there, two sanitation trucks, and I think they were broken down because I saw another car maneuvering around. I had to maneuver around to park right here,” the woman said. “And I just thought they were broken down, but I did see two feet underneath it.”
Department of Sanitation officials told CBS2 they are looking into what happened, adding all of their drivers are extensively trained and hold commercial driver’s licenses.
The driver of the truck was also taken to the hospital, for observation.
