The dump truck then slammed into a fence and drove into the United Auto Center used truck lot at 16230 East 14th St., damaging nine pickup trucks, according to Jacowitz.
The dump truck's gas tank ruptured in the accident, spilling about 30 gallons of diesel fuel, Jacowitz said.
Caltrans crews responded to the scene and absorbed the fuel, he said. No roads were closed during the cleanup.
The 10 vehicles the dump truck hit sustained moderate damage, and 40 feet of fencing was knocked down, Jacowitz said. No injuries were reported.
Zamora is not believed to have been driving under the influence, and he was not cited, Jacowitz said. An employee at United Auto Center declined to comment.
