Break - to take time away from a task to sit at a picnic table for a few minutes and rest.
Brake - to arrest momentum by means of applying friction that opposes movement.
The white truck did not have its brake set, so it jumped a fence and came to a stop in the break area.

Asked for comment, the truck said “sorry, I thought I saw Emilio and wanted to straighten some things out.”

I noticed that there driver had left the lights on too. Perhaps he also left the engine running. Maybe a brick on the gas pedal as well. Who’s knows?

Forgot to put on the brake? Did the owner also strap a cinderblock to the accelerator?
