The crash happened shortly before 6 a.m. at East Main and Franklin streets. Traffic was diverted off East Main Street for about five hours until a crew from Berks-Mont Towing could remove the truck.
Eastern Berks police said the Whitetail Disposal Inc. truck driven by Shaun Campbell, 35, address unavailable, was eastbound on Franklin, police said. The truck didnât stop at the intersection with East Main and continued across that street into a yard before slamming into the shed, demolishing it, police said.
