VIDEO: SUV crash into side of building near Huntington Learning Center and Alt Thai on Arlington Heights Road south of Northwest Highway.
Arlington Heights police and firefighter/paramedics responded about 9:04 PM Monday to a report of a crash with injuries at 50 South Arlington Heights Road Arlington Heights, IL. Police and firefighter/paramedics received a report that an SUV crashed into a building near Huntington Learning Center.
An SUV hit a light pole and the side of the building near Huntington Learning Center and Alt Thai.
Apparently a teen driver with a learner’s permit was practicing driving when the crash occurred. The driver was possibly turning out of a shopping center driveway when a load of objects in the back of the SUV shifted and distracted the teen driver. The driver took a turn that was too sharp and went up the sidewalk — hitting a light pole and the side of the building.
No injuries were known immediately after the crash.
