A dump truck careened off a ramp to the Orange (57) Freeway into two apartment buildings in Anaheim Tuesday, killing at least one person and injuring another.
The vehicle crashed just before 12:40 p.m. on the southbound freeway at Lincoln Avenue, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The dump truck slammed into a vehicle that had stopped on the off-ramp before careening across Lincoln, where it struck two more vehicles and continued through a carport, one of the apartment buildings and then finally to a second building, CHP Officer Florentino Olivera said.
The truck smashed into a resident of the second apartment building, killing the occupant, Olivera said.
The dump truck driver was taken to a hospital with minor to moderate injuries, and the driver of one of the vehicles involved in the series of collisions was also taken to an area hospital to be examined for a complaint of pain, Olivera said.
