Boston business owners are speaking out after the building housing their livelihoods partially collapsed over the weekend after a car crashed into it at street level.
The Boston Fire Department has released images showing the wreckage and rubble following the incident Sunday morning in the city’s Roslindale neighborhood, where a Toyota Camry plowed into a property that houses multiple businesses. “The building has been evacuated, for concern of a potential collapse,” the department said. Images show that the car appears to have struck a load-bearing support beam near the exterior of the façade.
The driver of the vehicle was the only one reported hurt in the crash, suffering minor injuries, according to WFXT. The cause of the accident is unclear. “This is really heartbreaking. So many of us put everything we have into our businesses here,” Sarah Kosky, the owner of Beautiful by Sarah – a makeup business affected by the crash – told the station.
