FRAZIER PARK, CA (Monday, Oct. 7, 2013 at 11:55 a.m.)—Charley Diezidue of Frazier Park was driving his Ford pickup truck eastbound on Mt. Pinos Way just after 11 o’clock this morning when, he says, he felt pain in his legs.

“I just had surgery two days ago,” Diezidue told The Mountain Enterprise. “I felt pain in my legs and blacked out for just a moment, then found myself here,” he said, pointing to his truck which came to rest on the front porch of the new TShirtMan shop at Pomona Trail.

Diezidue was not injured in the accident. His truck ran over a parking pole at the front of the business and the front, underside of the truck was damaged by the impact.

The truck barely missed hitting the t-shirt shop and a power pole, but did knock out two supports for the roof of the building which hangs over the porch area.

Shop owner Jerry Parker said he was inside at the time but nothing inside the business was damaged.

Diezidue said he just wanted to get home and come back when the tow truck company arrives.
