<\/a>PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. \u2014<\/p>\nTwo parked trucks were heavily damaged in a violent crash in Port St. Lucie Sunday.<\/p>\n
Security video recorded the crash, which shows a black truck traveling at a high rate of speed on SW Lucero Drive around 3:40 p.m. <\/p>\n
The truck goes off the road into the grass and then slams into the two parked trucks.<\/p>\n
“When I heard the crash, I thought it was thunder,” Elaine Harmon, a neighbor, said. <\/p>\n
“I heard a loud explosion,” said another neighbor, Rocky Burkhead. “Thought it was just lightning like we’ve been having over the last few days.” <\/p>\n
But when Burkhead stepped outside, he realized the situation was far worse than a weather-related incident. <\/p>\n
“I had no idea what to think. I was just at a loss for words. My first concern was, ‘Is he OK?'” Burkhead said. <\/p>\n
Port St. Lucie police said the man in the black truck sustained only minor injuries. <\/p>\n
However, Burkhead said the damage to the two parked trucks hit in the collision was extensive. Both trucks belong to Burkhead and are essential for his pressure washing business. <\/p>\n
“It stops my business. I had to rent a U-Haul today. You’re limited on what you can do, how far you can go,” Burkhead said. <\/p>\n
Neighbors said the crash is the most dramatic example of speeding on Southwest Lucero Drive but emphasized it is not an isolated incident. <\/p>\n
The speed limit on the road is 25 mph, but residents said drivers rarely adhere to it. <\/p>\n
“People do fly by on this road all the time,” Courtney Gray, a neighbor, said. <\/p>\n
“There’s a big problem with speeding on this road,” Burkhead said. <\/p>\n
Residents are particularly concerned because the road lacks sidewalks, yet many people walk along it with children and pets. <\/p>\n
“I walk every day with (my baby) in the stroller or whatever. I’m just so thankful we weren’t home when it happened,” Gray said. <\/p>\n
“I think what they need to do is put some officers in the area, pull a few people over with some heavy-duty fines,” Burkhead said. <\/p>\n
“Seems like something like this is going to keep happening if we don’t have speed bumps,” Gray said. <\/p>\n
Port St. Lucie police have not yet responded to inquiries about arrests related to the crash or the possibility of speed bumps or additional patrols.<\/p>\n
