Two elderly motorists were hurt Wednesday when their car crashed into an office building in downtown Scranton, authorities said.
The collision occurred at 12:32 p.m., when a Dodge Spirit sedan crashed into a glass-enclosed entryway of an office building at 220 Penn Ave.
The elderly car occupants, a woman and a man, were hurt and taken by ambulances to a hospital, though it did not appear that they suffered life-threatening injuries, said Scranton Assistant Fire Chief Jim Floryshak.
The car also struck a sign in front of the building, but narrowly missed a flagpole.
Tom Sohns, who was working in a nearby parking-lot attendant's booth, said, "I heard a swoosh and a bang, and it (the car) hitting the sign and right into the glass there."
Police did not immediately have information on the incident.
