The following videos captured the incident from two angles:
After driving over the bollard lights, the truck traveled west in the east lanes of Chocolate Avenue and approached a Schmidt's Bakery delivery truck that was traveling east.
The pickup truck then veered into the center crossover lane near the Melt Spa and made a left turn on Cocoa Avenue.
The truck should have moderate damage to the front end and possible undercarriage damage as well.
Pieces of the truck left behind included a running board, a Philadelphia Eagles carbon fiber front license plate and a pair of jumper cables.
