Charles McKinley followed the truck after his father’s car was hit.

“I heard a big crash. I come upstairs and next thing I know there's a box truck stuck in the house over here,” McKinley said. “The cop told me he was glad that I followed him because they went exactly where the truck was.”

The truck was towed away, but the driver was not located.

Earlier in the morning, the truck struck a brick pillar at a Wendy’s on Baum Boulevard, police said.
