The Iron Mountain truck was parked at a nearby building on Main Street, witnesses said. The driver was inside the building when the truck drifted about 40 yards, veered right and began rolling down W. Beau Street.

The truck nearly hit three vehicles before getting hung up on the planter box at the intersection of W. Beau and Main Streets.

No injuries were reported.

It remains unknown if there was any damage to the building structure.
