LYNN, Mass. (WHDH) – Authorities are investigating after a car crashed into a building in Lynn Monday afternoon.
Emergency crews responding around 4:20 p.m. to the area of Chatham and Oakwood streets found a car partially inside a building.
Witnesses said the driver lives in the building and was backing up through the parking lot; it’s unclear how fast they were going. The driver was conscious when emergency crews arrived on scene and was taken to the hospital.
The woman who lives in the apartment that the car crashed through said she was at the movies with her daughter when she got a call about the crash.
The car apparently went right through the couch that the woman and her daughter usually sit on, nearly hitting the television. The woman also has a baby son who was fortunately staying with the children’s grandmother just one floor up.
“That could have been me, that could have been my kids,” the woman told 7News. “We wouldn’t have been here right now.”
It’s unclear what led up to the crash.
