CENTENNIAL, Colo. — The driver of a Volvo station wagon was hospitalized after crashing their vehicle into an office building in Centennial Monday morning.
No other injuries were reported.
It happened around 11 a.m. at Greenwood Executive Park at 6432 S. Quebec Street. Crews from South Metro Fire Rescue (SMFR) responded and safely evacuated all building occupants, according to an SMFR tweet.
In an update Monday evening, SMFR said the vehicle initially struck Building #6 and collided with two parked vehicles before crashing into Building #7. The impacted business space was unoccupied at the time of the crash, according to the department.
SMFR's Technical Rescue Team responded to shore up the building. Once the area was stabilized, first responders turned the building over to its owner and the City of Centennial building inspector.
An office tenant told Denver7 that an elderly woman was behind the wheel of the Volvo and suffered a medical emergency, though that has not been confirmed by authorities. SMFR said the cause of the crash is under investigation by the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office.
The tenant said they incurred "quite a bit of property damage on the inside." He said he was just grateful he had no staff in the office at the time of the crash.
