When crews first arrived, they said the building was fully involved with heavy smoke and flames and due to the size of the fire, only a defensive attack was performed.

Authorities said people involved in the car accident were taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, and no other injuries were reported.

Officials determined the fire to be accidental and caused by a vehicle crashing into the building.
