ROSLINDALE – Several Roslindale businesses were evacuated Sunday morning after a car slammed into a building, leaving significant damage.
It happened around 8:30 a.m. on Corinth Street.
According to the Boston Fire Department, the driver was taken to an area hospital.
All businesses in the building have been evacuated over concern that the structure could collapse.
"Sunday morning is a quiet time for us so we're really thankful that no one was upstairs," said Leise Jones, a business owner there.
"There are some really important, long-standing, businesses here that everyone relies on, so we're all hands on deck, and trying to make sure that they are OK, and today the focus is on safety," said Boston Mayor Michelle Wu.
Firefighters were using a laser to monitor the building to watch for movement and they await a structural engineer.
Drivers are urged to avoid the area.
