SHENANDOAH, Pa. — A tractor-trailer that lost control while driving in snowy conditions missed crashing into an ambulance building by mere inches, the Shenandoah Sentinel reports.
The incident happened Friday morning when the tractor-trailer lost control on a hill and jackknifed as it traveled down, police at the scene said.
Surveillance video shows the tractor-trailer coming down the hill, driving over a sidewalk and colliding into a flagpole, which slowed the vehicle down. The tractor-trailer came to a rest just inches away from the wall of the Shenandoah Community Ambulance headquarters.
The wall where it came to rest had marks on it from the hinges on the trailer’s doors, but no other damage, the report said.
The truck was carrying an empty trailer, which the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation prohibited around 7:45 a.m. due to winter conditions.
