Initially, firefighters were dispatched to respond to what they believed was just a vehicle fire call but later switched it to a rescue call due to concerns about structural damage caused by the impact.
According to Kingston Fire & Rescue, they found one of the vehicles “fully involved in fire.”
“Firefighters extinguished the vehicle fire and secured part of the structure so they could safely remove the vehicle and ensure that it left in secure condition,” relayed by City of Kingston to Kingstonist on behalf of local firefighters.
The department confirmed that work was done to reinforce or shore up the garage so it wouldn’t collapse immediately. They couldn’t say if any residents were displaced because of this incident nor comment on how serious were injuries sustained by the single driver taken to hospital.
Kingston Police Media Relations Officer Constable Anthony Colangeli verified two vehicles were involved in this crash (with one being unoccupied), noting there “does not appear to be major injuries.”
“One vehicle struck a tree while another hit a garage,” he explained.
Colangeli couldn’t provide details regarding what caused this crash or if any charges would be filed related to it. According to police reports, only one driver went to hospital as precautionary measure with no passengers present in either car.
The intersection at Sussex Boulevard and Fleet Street is located within residential area north of Lincoln Drive and westward from Bayridge Drive.
