Gatelys Furniture Companys truck driver, Fred Jaopperi presumed he had his big truck well anchored as he unloaded household appliances near the Nathaniel Mitchell home on Saw Street, Lake Linden this morning. But, upon parking his big vehicle on the hill with the brakes set, he didnt figure on the power of the sun which apparently melted the snow and started the conveyance on its descent into the front of the Mitchell home. Fortunately only the front portion of the porch was damaged and the vehicle was unscratched. Houghton County Sheriffs Deputy, John Gasperich, Dodgeville, is seen investigating the accident. [Image of the truck after hitting the porch. Ironically, a sign on the truck door states "We furnish the home."] Scanned: April 14, 2009 |
