Pickup crashes into repair shop in Forward Twp
A pickup truck was totaled after crashing into the front façade of Larry Teal’s Alignment Shop on Evans City Road on Wednesday morning.
The driver of the vehicle was unharmed after passersby extracted him from the vehicle, Evans City Area Volunteer Fire Department Chief Matt Otto said. The crash happened just before 7 a.m.
“We had one vehicle traveling westbound and it crossed the center line,” Otto said. “It went through the center on his garage door, and ended up coming to a rest at the back of the building. There were some passersby who saw a vehicle accident, and they got out of their vehicles and were able to extricate the person. He was evaluated by EMS, but there were no major injuries on the scene.”
The driver hit an oil tank inside of the repair shop, and the Butler County Hazmat Team was called to ensure that the spill did not leave the area, Otto said.
