Vial Sr. was heading to work when he saw the crash at 12:22 pm.

William Lane, the owner of King Klean Auto Detailing, was washing cars when he heard a loud boom.

“So, we ran to the front. We then saw a small box truck bang the heck out of a small pickup truck that ran into the building,” Lane said.

Lane told Action News he checked to see if everyone was alright. He said there was one person inside the building before the crash happened.

“Actually, the owner was inside. But he was inside another room. He wasn’t hurt. Everybody seems to make it out of the accident okay,” according to Lane.

A witness tells us the utility truck was T-bone by a pickup truck after it ran a red light on First Street.

There are no reports of any serious injuries.

A witness told us that the National Guard was the first to the scene. Police are still investigating this crash.
