    SEATTLE - A sign-truck driver made some good split-second decisions, but still got involved in an ugly crash in downtown Seattle Sunday afternoon.

    The driver exited I-5 started driving down the steep hill on James Street, and realized he didn't have any brakes!

    He dodged a loaded Metro bus, several pedestrians, and crashed his truck in the side of a parking structure commonly known as the "Sinking Ship".

    The driver walked away OK.

    Dont you just hate US tv news?

    More seriously here in Waterford something similair happened on a very steep hill heading down to Ferrybank dual carrigeway junction, a double transporter carrying logs to the MDF factory at Bellview lost its brakes and piled into a load of cars on the left hand side. Some how no-one was killed. Had he kept going the truck would have piled straight though 4 lanes of traffic.

    What's less believable is that this ****e actually passes for 'news'.

    Americans, tbh. Pffft..
