A vehicle crashed into First Care Medical Group at 50 Pompton
Ave. in Verona.
The crash happened around 7 a.m.
Police are still
trying to piece together what happened, but first responders say the
driver was possibly cut off by another driver, landing her inside the front of
the medical office.
Three staff
members were inside when the Toyota SUV crashed into the building and into
a treatment room. None of the staff members were hurt.
Dr. George Ambrosio, who owns the practice, says the intersection
has been problematic for years.
“Two, three, four years ago a car hit that building, the one catty-corner
to us, and so it is a dangerous intersection unfortunately,” says Ambrosio. “They try to do things about it, for example no left
turn, but it’s limited.”
The car vehicle was safely pulled out of the hole. Police
say the driver was evaluated at the scene by police
and taken to the hospital for further tests.
