A dump trailer into an overhead sign is one thing, but I think this tops it.The cab looks pretty good for what it hit. :dwave:

A Department of Sanitation vehicle crashed through the third floor of building in Queens on Wednesday morning, leaving the driver stranded without coffee while rescuers rushed to the scene.

The driver of the truck, a 56-year-old male, was rescued using a tower ladder truck within a half hour of firefighters arriving on the scene, an FDNY spokesperson said He was taken to Elmhurst hospital with neck and back injuries.

Over the course of the rescue, 25 units -- over 100 firefighters -- responded to the scene.

The incident occurred on the third floor of a sanitation garage at 58-65 52nd Road in Queens, according to the FDNY.

The vehicle is a Department of Sanitation salt truck, and although debris from the building fell on the sidewalk, no other injuries have been reported.

According to the New York City Office of Emergency Management, roads around the area have been closed due to a "structural incident."

Oh those crazy NY gargagemen. Why was the truck being run? getting ready for winter? Driver training?

Now the next question, How did they get it back in/ down?

Did the driver need a set of clean(er) shorts?

As of now on the news there is a Grove crane holding it as secure (?) as possible. Typical NYC, they won't move it until the building dept looks at it and determine if the builing is damaged.(duh) Reasons to run it? we don't need no stinking reasons. I actually think the third floor is the paint shop. If you look carefully at the debris on the groud, you can just make out the Fruit of the Loam Guys buried in it. My question is, what is holding up the roll away on the lower left of the truck? Paul

I'm sure with the help of his union, the the driver will be found not to be at fault and now can retire early on disability at 175% of his already inflated salary.
