55-year-old cited after car crashed through Goodwill in Attleboro

ATTLEBORO, Mass. (WLNE) — The Attleboro Police Department said the driver who crashed through the front doors of the Goodwill on Washington Street has been cited.

Attleboro police said the 55-year-old driver told officers he “suddenly lunged forward,” resulting in him crashing into the building.

On June 20, the Attleboro Fire Department responded to the store around 3:30 p.m. to find a car resting against clothing racks.

No customers or staff inside the store were struck or injured, and the driver was also uninjured.

A tow truck was used to remove the car.

The Attleboro Building Inspection Department responded to the scene and determined that there was no structural damage to the building. 

The 55-year-old driver was cited and will appear in court at a later date.

The store is temporarily closed.
