Garbage truck takes off without driver, wipes out cars — VIDEO
Surveillance footage from a Pennsylvania woman’s home caught a runaway garbage truck taking out the neighbors’ cars as the worker chased it.

Lisa Ferguson, whose camera caught the incident, said she was out thousands of dollars because of the crash.
“We are investigating the cause of the accident, and are thankful everyone involved is unharmed,” waste Management in Ambridge, Penn., said in a statement. “We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and thank the first responders for their assistance.”
