BUTLER TOWNSHIP — A man was taken to a hospital after an out-of-control oil truck ran him over then hit a house in Schuylkill County.
Dispatchers said Jerry Melusky, 66, was delivering oil to a home in Butler Township when his truck began to roll away. The truck hit a fence and then a home on Rapp Road.
Authorities believe there was a problem with the brake on the runaway truck.
