A truck crashed into Athletico Physical in Redford Township, causing significant damage to the building. The driver tried to walk away but was instructed by a worker to stay put until police arrived. It is unclear whether the driver was taken to the hospital or into custody. Fortunately, no injuries were reported at the time of the incident.
Paris Edwards, who was inside the building at the time of the crash, recounted hearing a loud noise before seeing the truck plow into the building. She and the trainers inside were on the other side of the building and managed to avoid injury. Witnesses described the truck as barreling down Telegraph Road before leaving it and crashing into Athletico Physical after hitting a power pole.
Douglas Wilson and his friends narrowly escaped being hit by the truck while they were outside Athletico Physical. They credited their quick thinking with alerting them to run to safety just in time before being struck by debris from the crash site. The business will remain closed temporarily as investigations continue following this incident that caused extensive damage without any reported injuries.
Telegraph Road was temporarily closed for DTE crews to remove the broken power pole, but has since reopened. Despite extensive damage caused by this crash, there have been no reports of injuries so far at Athletico Physical in Redford Township.
