Truck Driver Forgets Parking Brake

Whoops. I knew I forgot something. This happened Tuesday August 26, 2008 at 5pm in Grand Prairie, TX.

grandprairie_parking-brakeThe truck was at a truck-stop which is adjacent to (and uphill from, apparently) the McDonald’s. Next thing you know, the truck, without the driver, is inside the McDonald’s.

The driver says he did set the parking brake. Uh-huh. The police says the brakes were working correctly….. if they were set, that is.
