VIDEO: A close call in Bellingham was caught on camera Sunday. Surveillance video shows an apparently speeding truck fly off the road and hit an ice cream shop sign, and then narrowly miss a car with a baby inside. The red truck is seen veering off Pulaski Boulevard and blasting through the sign of Chevy's Ice Cream Parlor at about 7:30 p.m. "Our sign is blown to smithereens," shop owner Shayna Murray told WBZ-TV. "It was like a tornado came through." Another camera angle shows the truck just inches away from smashing into an SUV parked nearby. Seconds later, a driver gets out with a baby in her arms. "When I saw the footage I just could not believe how fast the guy was coming," Murray said. The Ford F350 driver, 38-year-old Robert Marcoux of Bellingham, is being criminally cited for operating under the influence, operating to endanger, and speeding, police said.
