Man Who Crashed Truck into Merrill Lynch Building Remains Behind Bars

Boom 1The man who crashed his truck into the side of a building Tuesday afternoon in Gadsden, is currently in the Etowah County Detention Center being held without bond. The 33 year old was reportedly traveling west on Broad Street, near the intersection with 2nd Street, when his 2011 Dodge Ram truck hit the rear of a Gadsden Police Cruiser then barreled through the oncoming lane of traffic, before crashing into the Merrill Lynch building, located at 224 Broad Street.

Following the wreck, the man bailed out and fled on foot, but was taken into custody in less than 15 minutes. The name of the individual has yet to be released and the matter remains under investigation.

The officer in the cruiser sustained minor injuries and was taken to Riverview Regional for treatment; he was released a short time later.
