Carole Cheeseman, who lives at the bottom of the Gordon Mountain, woke up to the sound of a truck crashing into her yard, Wednesday, in Schuylkill County.
Her home was swiped around 4 a.m. when a tractor trailer hauling watermelons barreled through her yard and totaled her parked SUV.
PennDOT plans to ban all trucks from coming down the mountain and are working on getting signage put up, hoping to have the ban in place soon, possibly as early as this summer. In the meantime, the council plans to ask Butler Township and state police for stricter enforcement of the truck ban on Gordon Mountain.
There is a ban on trucks weighing more than 19 tons from coming down the mountain.
There is no word from police whether this truck was over that weight limit and no word on whether the driver would be cited.
