Runaway Wrecking Ball Rolls Into Student's Car Trunk

    Runaway Wrecking BallA  rare accident!

    A runaway 1,500-pound wrecking ball barreled out of control for nearly a mile, causing damage and injury, reports CBS station KDKA-TV in Pittsburgh.

    The ball broke loose in Meadville, Pa., about 100 miles north of Pittsburgh, at the top of a hill where part of a library at Allegheny College was being demolished.

    “The cable just snapped,” Meadville police officer Brian Joseph said. “It just so happened that it snapped at a point and time when the ball was outside the wall.”

    The out of control ball hit parked cars and even bounced off the curb, before it rolled into the trunk of a student's car, ramming it into cars in front of it.

    Alex Habay, the student at Allegheny College, tells KDKA-TV he has pain in his head, neck and back. He and two other people were released from the hospital.
