At around 11:38 a.m., the parking brake failed on the truck while the driver was making a delivery, causing the truck to roll down a hill, hit a car then hit a building, where it overturned, said officials.

Officials sealed the leak and used absorbent to capture the approximately 100 gallons of spilled fuel, according to the fire department.

Officials do not believe the driver of the struck car was seriously injured and stated the building the truck hit was not structurally compromised.
