A black SUV crashed into a downtown Waterville business Thursday evening, smashing through the storefront of Riverfront Studios and destroying a wall.
The crash happened in the downtown district, where the vehicle shattered the building’s glass facade and tore through an interior wall, according to initial reports. The impact left extensive visible damage to the front of the building.
Details about what led to the crash and whether anyone was hurt were not immediately available. Authorities had not released information about the driver or the circumstances of the wreck in early reports, and it was not clear whether the building was occupied at the time.
Riverfront Studios sits in the heart of downtown Waterville, a Lucas County community along the Maumee River in northwest Ohio. The crash left the storefront in need of significant repairs, and cleanup was expected as the business assessed the damage.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation. This story will be updated as authorities release more information.
