This morning, an unexpected event occurred as a van flew through the roof of a building in White Oak. As reported by CBS News Pittsburgh, the incident occurred near the intersection of Park Way and Senate Street around 5:30 a.m. The vehicle, which crashed into a garage and warehouse below on Congress Street, appeared to have come to rest amidst the structures after an airborne misadventure.
The van, seemingly defying gravity, was removed from its lofty perch by first responders an hour after the event. The 72-year-old driver, identified by a family member, suffered a broken arm but was "alert and conscious" before medics took him to an ambulance, KDKA's news crew witnessed. In addition, a neighbor disclosed that the garage harbored classic British cars.
The cause of the crash, which resulted in the van's unexpected landing, has yet to be determined. According to a report by WTAE, the crash happened a little before 5:45 a.m., and someone severely injured was extracted close to an hour later.
The individual was rescued from the vehicle, and details about their condition were not provided, except that they were taken by ambulance to a local hospital. The aerial images captured by the KDKA Drone Team show the devastation left by the vehicle, leaving behind a scene of surreal destruction.
