An MTA utility truck from the Mobile Wash Unit crashed into an apartment building in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, just before morning rush hour on June 4. The incident resulted in one injury as a woman was hospitalized due to falling debris. Witnesses described seeing the building shake upon impact. Emergency response teams, including FDNY's Hazmat Company, attended to the scene to ensure safety, while NYC Department of Buildings assessed the building's integrity. The MTA is reviewing the incident as police investigate, with no arrests reported at this time.
Witnesses reported feeling the building shake when the truck slammed into the facade. 'The whole building shook,' one witness said. 'It threw me out of bed. I was afraid for my life.'
When they arrived, the truck was found against the building and under scaffolding. The collision sent one woman to a nearby hospital with minor injuries that resulted from falling dust and debris.
