News Center 7’s John Bedell was on the scene where a dark blue car crashed into the building. The car was partially over the parking block and had debris on its hood.
Kettering police said the driver hit the gas instead of the brake while he was parking.
As reported on News Center 7 at 5:30,ne person was taken to the hospital after they got hit by some debris from the crash.
The building is a multi-purpose building that houses different businesses, including a counseling center and a pediatrician’s office, Pediatric Associates of Dayton, Inc.
Rebecca Kolssak works as a therapist in the building and said she and her colleagues were in their offices when they heard a “loud thump.”
She told me sometimes the atrium’s front door slams on windy days and they thought that’s what the noise was, until a few minutes after that thump.
“Someone came up to our office and let us know that we had to evacuate the building because a car had hit the building,” Kolssak said. “And sure enough, we come out and there’s a hole in the building.”
The city of Kettering said their city architect said the building was cleared as being structurally sound for business.
Pediatric Associates of Dayton, Inc. shared that their office would be closed Tuesday afternoon due to the crash. In an updated social media post, they said they would be open for patients on Wednesday
