Attleboro, MA - The Attleboro Fire Department responded to a vehicle-into-building incident on Washington Street involving a structural support column at a local business.
Upon arrival, crews found a vehicle had struck a column supporting the entrance canopy, leaving the structure unstable. Firefighters directed occupants to evacuate through alternate exits as the main entrance was deemed unsafe.
The driver exited the vehicle independently and was evaluated on scene. No injuries were reported. Building officials assessed the damage and issued a temporary closure until repairs can be completed. The incident remains under investigation by local authorities.
