LENGTH: Short :   21 lines
ILLUSTRATION: PHOTO:  ERIC BRADY/Staff. Anthony Hurd, 24, of Roanoke calls his

employer after the rig he left idling Sunday hit the front porch of

the Mountain Avenue Southeast house next door. Kimberly Atkins, 21,

was in her upstairs bedroom when she heard the crash and looked down

to see the truck's wheels still spinning. Atkins and roommate Carrie

Molokach, 19, found humor in the accident; Molokach said she

couldn't wait to tell her mother about it. Hurd, who had gone

indoors to warm up, said he didn't know why the truck took off.
