VIDEO: A woman hit by an out-of-control dump truck remains hospitalized at Seattle's Harborview Medical Center. Three men were also treated for injuries, but have since been discharged from Harborview. A dump truck lost control Monday morning and struck a pedestrian and several vehicles before crashing into a Subway restaurant around 9:40 a.m. The 37-year-old woman driving the dump truck suffered minor injuries and was treated at the scene. Police said she was cooperating with the investigation. Seattle police report the truck "allegedly suffered a catastrophic mechanical failure" before it careened westbound down James Street. The driver reportedly attempted to steer the truck through traffic before it crashed, according to police.
