A car crashed into the Deli Market (Blatchley Ave. & Grand Ave) in #NewHaven late last night. The impact was so strong the brick front exterior crumbled. Also, if you zoom in on picture 1, you can see the car crushed a dumpster that was outside. pic.twitter.com/w6uIYfSFID

UPDATE: #NewHaven PD sources say at least 1 person is dead after this car drove onto the sidewalk, hit 2 pedestrians, & landed in this building. Officers tell me they're waiting for the building inspector to give the "ok" before they move the car. #CTNEWS #NEWHAVENCT @WTNH pic.twitter.com/MSyBYYDbFj
