ANAHEIM, CA : 1 killed, 2 injured in Anaheim truck crash on Tuesday 24th August 2021

One person was killed and two were injured when a dump truck flew off the 57 Freeway and smashed into an Anaheim apartment complex Tuesday, officials say.

The crash was reported around 12:40 p.m. at an apartment complex on Lincoln Avenue near the freeway.

The truck somehow lost control and crashed into two vehicles on the southbound 57 offramp at Lincoln, then flew down the side of the embankment, crashing through the wall of a carport and then smashing through the apartment building.

One person inside the apartment building, believed to be a man in his 50s, was killed.
