Earlier this morning (06/11/15) a pick-up truck crashed through a steel cable and then smashed through a window of a downtown parking garage in New Orleans. The Driver of the vehicle has been pronounced dead.

The truck reportedly fell from either the fifth or sixth floor of the garage, landing upside down on the street below. The parking garage is located on Camp and Poydras streets. Thankfully, no one was on the ground where the truck plummeted to the street below. However, there was a group of people at a near by bus stop located feet away from the accident.

Reports are the man who drove the truck was possibly a parking attendant who worked at the parking garage, and was likely on his way home from working the night shift.

The Orleans Parish Coroner is currently performing an autopsy on the victim and will release the name.
