NORTH MASSAPEQUA, N.Y. – Around 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, May 16, the North Massapequa Fire Department responded to a motor vehicle accident involving a car into a building at the Fairway Food Market located at 1091 North Broadway.

Upon arrival, firefighters were met with a black Honda Civic which had driven through the front window of the store.

North Massapequa responded with multiple apparatus including Fire Police, Ambulance 667, Engine 664 and Chiefs 6601, 6602 and 6603. Nassau County ESU 2423 also responded in due to the nature of the call.

Store workers were amazed that nobody inside the store was injured as the only reported person to be injured was the 24-year-old female driver, who was transported to a local hospital with minor injuries via Ambulance 667.

Although the front of the store was destroyed and shelving units inside the store were damaged, the Honda Civic appeared to only have some minor front damage. ESU officers were able to back the car up and park it under its own power.

North Massapequa firefighters remained on scene to help the store workers clean up the sidewalk. All units were returned to service within an hour of the call originating.
