ACES Driver Injured By Garbage Truck

An ACES Waste Services truck driver was injured Friday morning when he was struck by a small garbage truck. According to the CHP report, the driver had left the truck to pick up a garbage can on Ridge Road when he realized his truck was rolling backwards. The driver attempted to re-enter the truck to put on the brakes and stop the truck, but he was struck by the open door of the truck and knocked to the ground. The ACES driver was transported to Sutter Amador Hospital with minor injuries. The truck continued down the hill until it struck a tree. Fortunately, no one else was hurt and no other cars were involved in the accident.
