CI Shred truck crashes into Kennewick office building

A CI Shred truck caused quite a stir Thursday when it jumped a curb and crashed into a Kennewick mortgage office.

The truck was in the parking lot of the Sterling Savings Bank building, 8121 W. Grandridge Blvd., at 12:15 p.m. and was being loaded with documents to shred, said Mike Blatman, Kennewick police spokesman.

A mechanical malfunction is suspected of causing the truck to roll forward until it stopped inside the front door of the building.
