I'm thinking he he missed a gear, once you have too much speed it's very hard to get it back in gear, too many RPMs. if you turn the key off you lose steering. Medical issue? Mechanical failure,I didn't see any brake smoke.


hadn't thought about the medical issue, that could be a strong possibility as it was moving frown



While a medical issue is possible I have to wonder because the truck looked under control while on the sidewalk for at least a block, and the driver did try to steer around two groups of stopped cars trying to avoid them. And agreed with what's been said about the brakes. When the air system pressure gets below 60 psi the brake canisters should lock up. That is if they were properly adjusted to begin with.
