GREENSBORO, N.C. — A Republic Waste Services truck crashed into a Greensboro home Thursday.
The North Carolina State Highway Patrol said Michael Keen, 43, of Walnut Cove was driving the trash truck at the time.
He parked the truck facing downhill in order to move the trash cans closer to empty them when the brake malfunctioned. That caused the truck to roll downhill crashing into several parked vehicles before hitting the house and garage.
