According to reports from the scene, the driver of the truck lost control of the vehicle while traveling south on Van Nuys Boulevard, causing it to hit the apartment building. At least five parked vehicles were also struck by the truck before it jumped the curb and struck the building.
LAFD spokeswoman Lyndsey Lantz said Building and Safety officials were called to the scene to assess the structure’s stability and determine whether the building could be safely occupied.
A gas line was also ruptured during the collision.
