QUINCY, MASS. (WHDH) - QUINCY, Mass. (WHDH) – A dump truck driver whose vehicle crashed through the top level of a multi-story parking garage in Quincy on Wednesday morning told police a GPS app on his phone directed him into the lot.
Images from the scene showed the back end of the truck lodged in crumpled concrete at a garage near Copeland Street and Furnace Brook Parkway.
Video from Sky7 HD showed emergency crews surrounding the truck.
A man headed to a doctors appointment said he was parking his car just 20 feet away when he heard the garage buckle underneath the weight of the heavy-duty truck.
“They’re lucky nobody was underneath that. You know, parking their car or something,” he said. “It would have crushed them.”
Two vehicles have been reported damaged, more than 50 others were left trapped in the wreckage.
No one was injured.
Police say the driver claimed he was using a GPS app on his phone that directed him into the garage.
It is unclear if that driver will face charges.
Officials confirmed a crane will be used to remove the truck by early Thursday morning.
