The operator of the vehicle was traveling south on Birch Lane when he failed to

navigate the right turn toward Weir Rd. The operator crossed into the yard of

While still in the yard, the vehicle struck a pump well head and became stuck.

Lamberton attempted to free the truck by putting in in drive and reverse

multiple times. Lamberton eventually freed the vehicle and drove to 241 Business

Center Rd. During transit and due to damage sustained, the vehicle lost its main

driveshaft and mud flap in the yard. Also, in transit, the left front tire

completely separated from its rim and was not located.
