“The fact that they both came out alive was to me the most important part,” he said.
He said they tried to retrieve their belongings until he warned them the car could explode and they left before first responders arrived.
No injuries were reported.
D.C. Fire and EMS said the crash happened at 2 a.m. on Connecticut Avenue near R Street NW in Washington, D.C.
The truck drove up on the sidewalk and crashed into Cove, a shared workspace building, according to officials. Officials said that the truck was not stolen.
The sidewalk was littered with debris and apparent shards of glass. A parking payment kiosk and trash can were knocked askew.
Cove has not been in business for some time, according to a D.C. police officer.
While there are no structural issues with the building, the main floor is damaged from the crash.
Police are still investigating the crash.
