Motor Vehicle Accident

January 17, 2005

The driver of this truck wasn't exactly thinking of this when he was looking for something to hit "The Spot". The driver of the pickup truck had just pulled into the Degarmo Plaza for a something to eat at the deli. Unfortunately for him and the owner of "The Spot" Lounge and Cafe, he left his vehicle running while he stepped out and moments later, the transmission engaged into reverse and backed up right through the plate glass window of the cafe. After damaging a few tables and chairs, the truck came to rest after hitting a pool table. Thankfully, nobody was in the building at the time of the incident and no injuries were reported. New Hackensack Fire Department and Town of Wappinger Ambulance was dispatched to the scene at approximately 11:00. Upon investigation, it was found that there was no structural damage and all equipment went back in service. The Town of Wappinger Fire and Building Inspectors were also called to the scene.
