Four people have been injured after the driver of a pickup truck with allegedly faulty brakes smashed into a pool hall.

The vehicle owner said his brakes failed while he was cruising down a steep street, causing him to lose control.

Allegedly unable to slow down, the man reportedly hit several parked vehicles and two motorcyclists before crashing into the front of the pool hall.

They are being treated for their non-life-threatening injuries at a hospital in Cali.

The pool hall has reportedly sustained serious structural damage after the crash, as reported by Need To Know.

The police said the brake failure was the most likely cause of the accident, but have not ruled out that the truck owner was speeding or driving recklessly beforehand.

The investigation is ongoing.
