Woman killed by truck driven into SoCal home
SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. — A California woman has died after a truck driven into her home pinned her against the kitchen stove.
Police say 45-year-old Glynna Rose Folkens was standing in her kitchen Thursday night when a truck barreled through a brick wall in the back of her San Bernardino home and pinned her, causing massive leg injuries.
Police officer Daniel Hesser says the driver, 19-year-old Christopher Segura, ran a stop sign, breached a cinder block wall and crashed through the back of the house at 9:36 p.m.
Police say the cause is still under investigation, but early evidence suggests Segura may have been attempting suicide.
