MELVILLE, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) -- A man was teaching his wife how to drive in a Long Island parking lot Saturday when he lost control and their SUV crashed into a nearby office building, officials said.

The accident happened around 2:30 p.m. at 900 Walt Whitman Road in Melville.

Fire officials said the Volkswagen SUV slammed into the side of the building, crashing through a chiropractor's office, destroying the reception desk and heavily damaging the office.

The couple had to be extricated from the SUV. They were evaluated on the scene but declined to go to the hospital.
