"The dump truck then veered left into a Nissan Maxima (sideswipe), which was driving next to it, before continuing south across the eastbound lanes of Cactus Rd into and through the residential wall. Fox 10 Scottsdale reported Wednesday that the truck was carrying more than 20 tons of rocks and left a large hole in the residential wall. The homeowner of the assisted living facility described the crash like an explosion, according to Fox 10."
"I heard a huge noise, like a bomb. Literally, I call it a bomb, she said. The owner said the truck landed within feet of some patients' bedrooms. I was afraid that it was going to catch on fire, she said. So immediately, my mind said go in and get the patient that was in the room away and move all the patients in front of the house."
Dash cam footage shows a white Tesla crossing over two lanes of oncoming traffic and slamming head-on into a dump truck on Cactus Road in Scottsdale. The dump truck was pushed into a neighboring Nissan Maxima and then crashed through a concrete block wall attached to an assisted-living facility. The truck was carrying more than 20 tons of rocks and left a large hole in the residential wall. The crash occurred within feet of patient bedrooms, prompting staff to move residents out of nearby rooms. Both drivers were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries; the Tesla driver was cited for driving left of center and failing to control speed. Police said impairment was not considered a factor.
