ACCORDING TO THE CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL, TEDDIE LEIFRIED’S TRUCK WAS TRAVELING EAST BOUND ON HIGHWAY 140 WHEN ITS BRAKES FAILED, CAUSING IT TO ROLL BACK. ANOTHER CAR, DRIVEN BY MICHAEL SCOTT OF MARIPOSA, TRIED TO BACK OUT OF THE WAY, BUT WAS ALSO HIT. NO ONE WAS INJURED, BUT LUNCH TIME TRAFFIC WAS SNARLED DOWNTOWN.
