NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — No serious injuries were reported after a pickup truck crashed into the front of a law office in East Nashville. No one was inside at the time.
Sky 5 flew over the scene at Kaalberg Law, PLLC, which is located on Forrest Avenue, shortly after the crash happened just before 7 a.m. Monday.
"I was sleeping, my bedroom is about 25 feet away from that side of the house," said neighbor Sara Fotopulos, "so I heard this crash and I heard tinkling glass and I didn’t know where it was coming from and then finally saw it when I looked outside my window."
Fotopulos says she's used to traffic going up and down the alley, but this was a first.
"I came out and then pretty soon the policemen came with flashing lights and everything," Fotopulos said," I'm glad I don't live directly across from the alley."
The driver of the vehicle told police that his brakes failed. Removing the truck caused the roof to collapse.
