Video captures out-of-control pickup truck smashing into sign, vehicles in Bellingham

A wild crash caught on surveillance footage shows a truck driving at high speeds through a parking lot in Bellingham, smashing through a sign and into vehicles and a metal fence.

The driver, who has now been cited for driving under the influence by Bellingham Police, appeared to lose control after sideswiping a second vehicle. He then drove violently off Pulaski Boulevard by Hilltop Farms. 

The driver’s red Ford F350 ran through the sign for Chevy’s Ice Cream, then continued at high speeds until hitting a metal fence. The driver narrowly avoided hitting an occupied, parked vehicle nearby. 

The driver reportedly had no life-threatening injuries, according to an evaluation by the Bellingham Fire Department. Currently, the driver is being criminally cited for driving under the influence, operating to endanger, marked lanes violation, and speeding, police said.
