THIS CAR SITTING in a driveway was completely flattened after being hit by a runaway lorry carrying 40 tonnes of sand.

Nobody was injured in the crash, which also saw the truck plough into a home in Bountiful, Utah.

The lorry driver had been hauling a full load of sand up a hill on the way to a local golf course when he tried to change down a gear, police said. He couldn’t get the vehicle in gear, and the brakes failed when he tried to stop it.

The heavy trailer rolled backwards for some way, burst through a wall and smashed the car before it finally came to a stop partway inside a house.

The residents of the home were eating breakfast in another part of the house, according to police. They were not injured.

But the red car — which was waiting for pickup by a new owner who had purchased it a day earlier — was totally destroyed.

"It looks like a gross mechanical failure," a police spokesman said, adding that it was fortunate no other cars or people were in the truck's path.
