NYPD Truck Crashes Into Fort Greene Building, Injures One: FDNY

FORT GREENE, BROOKLYN — An NYPD truck crashed into the side of a building near Navy and Sands streets Thursday afternoon, injuring at least one person, according to officials and video from the scene.

Emergency responders rushed to the building on the corner of Navy and Sands streets just before noon on Thursday and found that a car had hit a building, an FDNY spokesman said. The spokesman did not have an exact address for the building that was hit.

Video onlookers took at the scene shows that what appear to be an NYPD tow truck stopped with its front end against the building, where a dent had been made in the wall.
