Allegheny County 911 dispatchers say the crash happened just after 4 a.m. on Friday.

Channel 11 was the first news crew on scene. Our cameras captured a truck with its tail end in the air, leaning against an apartment building in the 100 block of Chestnut Ridge Drive.

Officials on scene say the truck traveled off a nearby road and down a steep hillside early, going over a guide rail and coming to rest against the building.

The Moon Run Volunteer Fire Company posted photos on social media, showing the damage up close and inside the building.

Medics took one person to the hospital with minor injuries, Moon Run VFC says.

A maintenance worker at the building said the apartment that was damaged is vacant.

The truck had been towed away by 6 a.m.

“That’s insane. I’ve never seen anything like that,” said Weston Schley, who lives in the apartment complex.

“We were just worried if everyone was OK...” neighbor Kara Bartran said. “It was just insane to wake up to.”

The investigation is ongoing.
