Avon Truck vs Building 08-07-07

AVON, Conn. -- The driver of a flat-bed tractor-trailer lost control and swerved to avoid oncoming traffic before crashing into a store at the base of Avon Mountain late Friday morning, Eyewitness News has learned. The truck, traveling westbound on U.S. Route 44 at Route 10, crashed into the Nassau Furniture building at about 11 a.m., taking out a column that supports the roof of the building. A employee at the store told Eyewitness News that the truck appeared to have lost control of its brakes while traveling down the mountain and ran into the store. Witnesses at the scene told Channel 3 Eyewitness News reporter Eric Parker that the truck's driver, Robert Rauch, swerved his vehicle to avoid oncoming traffic. Rauch kept the truck to the extreme left of the roadway, ran over a grassy berm and crashed into the store.
