TORRINGTON – Torrington Police Department responded to a motor vehicle accident at GitFit Fitness Club Sunday evening just after 6:30 p.m.
TPD Chief Matt Johnson told the Telegram no injuries were reported at the scene. The car ran into the building after turning off of 19th Avenue onto Main Street after the driver attempted to turn into a parking space.
“When she went into the parking space, the breaks did not function as expected and she wound up in the building,” Johnson said.
Johnson said there is no suspected alcohol relation, and the accident appears to have been caused by a brake-related issue.
Fitness Club Owner Deanna Britton said no injuries among customers were reported and there were few people in the gym at the time of the accident. According to the police report, the crash moved the whole wall.
The gym will remain open and customers can use the back entrance.
