Driver crashes into food bank in Springfield

A vehicle that crashed into a pole and a building in Springfield also caused another crash on East Columbia early Saturday morning.

Springfield Police responded to the Second Harvest Food Bank at 701 East Columbia Street around midnight Saturday on reports of a car into that building. Officers say a driver crashed into a pole, knocking it down, before crashing into the building.

According to police, a second crash occurred when a vehicle then plowed into the fallen pole.

The unidentified driver involved in the first crash sustained minor injuries and was transported to a local hospital for evaluation. No word from police on any injuries sustained by anyone involved in the second crash.

The accident remains under investigation, and alcohol is a suspected factor in the crash.
