Deputies with the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station and L.A. County Fire Department personnel were dispatched to a three-vehicle collision in which a truck slammed into the Chi Chi’s Pizza location on the northbound side of Sierra Highway on Monday afternoon.
According to Howard Tieu, spokesman for the Fire Department, personnel were dispatched at 3:16 p.m. and arrived on the scene at 3:19 p.m.
A commercial truck was exiting the State Route 14 freeway when the driver began to apply his brakes and realized they were not working, according to Deputy Whitaker, who was assisting on the scene.
The driver then engaged his emergency brake, Whitaker said, adding that the commercial truck ended up crashing into two traffic signs before it hit a gray Toyota Prius and a blue Hyundai Elantra and then slammed into the side of Chi Chi’s Pizza.
One person was transported from the scene, said Tieu.
No arrests have been made as of the publication of this story, according to Whitaker.
This is a breaking news story, and additional information will be released as it becomes available.
