"I seen a lot of people. And then I seen a couple people laying on the floor over here and I came around. That's when I started asking people like what happened? Was the guy under the truck? And then they were like 'yeah he was under the truck' so they had pulled him out."
Ramirez said the driver told her his breaks were not working properly.
