Two Adults, One Child Killed After Semi-Truck Hits Home , Santa Barbara CA

Breaking news out of Santa Barbara, CA where KEY News has confirmed that three people have been killed in an accident involving a semi-truck that slammed into their home early this morning. Authorities on the scene say a father, mother, and a 7-year-old son were found dead inside the rubble of the home that collapsed after being struck by that semi-truck. Crews are still searching for the possibility that one more child may be in the home.
As KEY News first reported live at 6:50 a.m. the big rig was traveling down Highway 154 near San Marcos Road when it crashed into a home in the 4000 block of State Street. It is believed the brakes may have gone out on the big rig, causing it to slam into the home. The driver of the semi was pulled from the rig. He was bloody but apparently suffered no injuries. Witnesses say they saw the big-rig traveling at a high rate of speed. It then swerved off the 154 and down into the Hope Ranch Inn, where it failed to hit anything until it came into contact with that home several hundred feet later. The truck was hauling two loads of gravel.
