A cement truck overturned and crashed into several parked cars Friday in the 1000 block of Loma Vista Drive, the Beverly Hills Police Department told NBC-LA.
The crash, which injured the driver, happened around 11 a.m. close to the same area where veteran LAPD officer Nicholas Lee was killed nearly two months ago after his patrol car collided with an out-of control dump truck, KTLA reported.
