"The bearing walls are all out of place. The building is at least 8 or 10 inches out of square; it's leaning. It's very precarious in there, the roof collapsed down onto the cab....it took a lot to get him out."
"Another person was also rescued from the second floor of the building. That person is also expected to be OK, fire officials said."
"Firefighters said it could have been worse if it were flammable material."
A tractor-trailer driver was hospitalized after crashing into a two-story building in Clifton, New Jersey, early Monday morning. Neighbors reported a loud boom around 2:30 a.m. The truck's cab was fully inside the building, with the garage severely damaged. Firefighters and police had to shut off power and gas before rescuing the driver, who was alert. Another person was rescued from the second floor. The truck was carrying dog food, preventing a potentially worse situation with flammable materials.
