Overview
- A tractor-trailer rolled across Wood Road and struck the exterior wall of a commercial building housing Pure Hockey and Widowmaker Brewing, creating a large breach in Pure Hockey’s storage area.
- Surveillance video captured the truck rolling into the building; officials say the vehicle was unoccupied and there were no reported injuries.
- Members of the Norfolk County Technical Rescue Team and other specialists erected elaborate cribbing and shoring to stabilize the compromised wall and roof before any attempt at vehicle removal.
- Authorities shut off electricity and natural gas to the building, closed affected businesses, and blocked a portion of Wood Road as a precaution to reduce collapse risk during the recovery.
- Officials continue to investigate how the unoccupied truck rolled into the building, and crews will not remove the vehicle until engineers and rescue teams confirm the structure is safe.
