The building's structural integrity was compromised, but Building and Safety workers deemed it safe to remain open. A woman was seen on a stretcher with medics; however, no word on her condition was immediately given.

Patch spoke with a worker when they were allowed to return inside after conditions were deemed safe. Though front windows were broken, the business is still open, a store worker told Patch. "People who want their supplies can come on in."

Firefighters immediately checked for injuries but did not identify anyone requiring medical attention, including the motorist, whose identity was not disclosed.
