Tresident's crews from King City along with King City Police were called to a report of a car crash involving a car into the side of a building at 12240 SW Imperial Avenue this morning at 7:48am. Upon arrival the firefighters found that the driver of a passenger car driven by a local resident had accidentally pushed the accelerator instead of the brake, causing the vehicle to impact the side of the apartment building. The impact of the car broke glass and caused structural damage including broken water pipes. Firefighters evaluated the building for structural stability, and were able to shut water off to the building eliminating any further damage being caused to the resident's personal property. Adjoining apartment units were evacuated for a short time while firefighters assessed the building for damage. The driver of the vehicle was not injured in the crash, and there were no reports of injury to occupants inside the apartment. The apartment management called for buil
ding engineers to respond and evaluate the structure for needed repairs. According to TVF&R Captain Troy Spisla, "Luckily in this incident no one was hurt. The impact could have been devastating had someone been in the bedroom where the car struck."
