Semi dumps load onto parking lot; patrol blames speeding driver
2/27/07

WA
A truck driver was speeding Monday when his semitrailer overturned, spilling crushed vehicles into a fast-food parking lot and clogging traffic on Highway 99 in Federal Way, the Washington State Patrol said.
The truck made a left turn from southbound South 348th Street onto southbound 99 about 11:30 a.m. and the load of crushed vehicles shifted, spilling them into a nearby Burger King parking lot, the State Patrol reported.
No one was hurt in the accident.
Investigators cited the driver for excessive speed and failing to secure the trucks load.
One lane of Highway 99 was closed for several hours after the crash, and traffic on the highway and 348th Street was extremely congested, according to the State Patrol.
