Dump Truck Brake Failure Causes 13-Vehicle Pile-Up | 5 Injured

After the brakes failed on a dump truck, a 13 vehicle pile up resulted, leaving 5 people injured.  The multi vehicle collision occurred at the Grand Avenue off ramp to Interstate 580 around 4:30 pm.  Police officials have said it’s literally a miracle that no one suffered fatal injuries in the wreck.  The truck was coming off the freeway exit when it plowed through the first vehicle which lead to a chain reaction.  The first vehicle hit was a Honda, which got completely crushed on the rear end.  The Honda was simply sitting a red-light before being rear ended.  The driver of the dump truck still claims that his brakes simply failed.
