NEW YORK (AP) — A firetruck plowed through the facade of a furniture store on New York's Long Island on Friday, injuring four people and destroying much of the building's exterior.
A store employee and three firefighters inside the truck were hospitalized with injuries that were not life-threatening, a Rockville Centre Police Department spokesperson said.
Video shared on social media swerving to avoid another vehicle, then careening into the corner of the furniture repair shop just before 11:30 a.m.
The crash left heaps of bricks piled on the sidewalk outside the shop. A photo showed the front half of the truck inside the store.
Local officials were on scene Friday afternoon working to secure the one-story building.
The police spokesperson said the truck was responding to a call at a separate location at the time of the crash.
A message left by phone with the furniture store was not returned.
