By: KDKA-TV's Erika Stanish

CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP (KDKA) -- The driver of a pickup truck crashed into the Five Below store in Cranberry Township.

Emergency crews were on the scene Friday at the store in the shopping plaza off Route 19.

Authorities believe the driver had a medical emergency when he was passing by the store. He then lost control and crashed through the front of the store around 3:30 p.m.

A witness said customers ran to the back of the store and on top of checkout counters to get to safety.

Fire officials say the driver was taken to a local hospital. His condition is unknown. There were no other injuries.

Crews stabilized the building and removed the vehicle

"The very first thing everyone did was to look underneath to see if anyone had been pinned under that truck," Sister Patricia Myers said. "Because the girls that work in the store said that was a busy part of the store with all their Christmas item."
