BRAINTREE, MASS. (WHDH) – An unoccupied tractor-trailer crashed into a commercial building in Braintree Friday, putting part of the building on the brink of collapse, officials said.
The truck rolled into the side of the building on Wood Road at approximately 3:30 p.m., creating a large hole in hockey supply store Pure Hockey, which is connected to Widowmaker Brewing. Surveillance video from the brewery captured the truck crossing the road, then crashing into the building.
“This truck you see behind me rolled into the building, it was not driven into the building. However, there are no injuries, which is a good thing, but the building is not secure. It is very unsafe from a structural standpoint,” said Braintree Fire Chief Freddie Viola. “We are extremely lucky because the truck came across the road…and went into a place that typically people are working. And they weren’t, they were on the front side, the retail side, down in the warehouse, so that is the good news.”…
