Surveillance cameras captured a violent crash that left a pickup truck in a tree earlier this month.
The incident, according to Traffic News Los Angeles, occurred just after 5 a.m. on Feb. 7 at a home in the 24500 block of Stonegate Drive in West Hills.
Video of the incident shows the pickup truck driving at a high rate of speed on the neighborhood sidewalk when it drives up a sloped brick retaining wall in the homeowner’s front yard before violently crashing into the top of the tree.
It is not known if alcohol or drugs were a factor in the crash, but the driver reportedly fled the scene before returning a short time later and attempting, unsuccessfully, to get the truck out of the tree.
A tow truck was called to remove the truck from the tree and the homeowner’s property. Footage of the vehicle’s removal showed significant damage to both the truck and the tree.
