Police were called to multiple reports hit-and-run collisions along Memorial Drive East, shortly before 5 p.m.

Four vehicles were hit by the truck, which then drove down 28 Street SE, before losing control and crashing into a minivan parked in a driveway in the 3300 block of Radcliffe Drive SE.

According to witnesses, the truck was travelling at excessive speeds.

“I was heading eastbound on Memorial [Drive] and then out of nowhere I just saw a grey blur,” Vince Ho said.

“All of a sudden my airbag is deployed, my ears are ringing.”
