The man was conscious and told deputies he was working on his truck when the brakes failed, causing the truck to roll backwards. He said he attempted to get in the vehicle in order to stop it, but was injured when his leg – sticking out of the vehicle – became caught between the truck and a tree.
The truck struck a fence and tree before coming to rest in the shed. The victim was transported to a local hospital for treatment, according to the release.
