A building has collapsed on Avenue P and East 5th Street in Flatbush, after a vehicle slammed into it on Monday night.
The incident prompted a massive response from Hatzolah, FDNY and NYPD, just after 11:00PM.
After an extensive search, it appeared that there was no one trapped in the rubble as the building was unoccupied.
Despite the collapse, it appeared that all 4 occupants of the vehicle managed to run from the scene.
The driver was apprehended nearby thanks to volunteers from Flatbush Shomrim who quickly canvassed the area. They were assisted by Boro Park Shomrim as well. The NYPD has taken the driver into custody.
A search is ongoing for the remaining occupants of the vehicle.
