Police say a box truck that started rolling downhill as its driver was loading it smacked into five parked cars in a Seattle neighborhood.

The truck driver was injured as he jumped from the back of the truck. A Seattle Fire Dept. spokesperson says he was taken to a hospital with an ankle injury.

No one else was hurt Monday.

Witnesses told police the trouble started as the driver was loading donated goods into the back of the 24-foot truck.

Witnesses say it appears the truck’s brakes failed.
