BANGOR, Maine — A vehicle has crashed into a dental clinic in Bangor on Wednesday afternoon.
The crash occurred at about 1:43 p.m. at Creative Dental Solutions on Broadway, a dispatcher told NEWS CENTER Maine.
Emergency response crews were working at the scene as of 2 p.m. in an effort to better stabilize the building, the dispatcher said.
No injuries were reported.
The building was closed for lunch when the crash occurred, according to Bangor Fire Department's assistant Chief Greg Hodge, and the part of the building where the vehicle crashed into was empty at the time of the incident.
"Everything you could check on the 'lucky' box, everything got checked," Hodge said. "Nobody was in that area. It was a fairly slow-speed crash. Where she landed was directly over carrying beams with lally columns, so she didn't go through the floor. Everything really worked in our favor. Sometimes luck really actually works in our favor."
Early investigation, according to Hodge, indicates the driver may have mixed up the accelerator and brake pedals, drove directly into the building, and coming to rest in the lobby.
