When deputies arrived on the scene police determined a 2020 Chevrolet Equinox left the road and hit a parked 2015 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck and several mailboxes along Route 52.

Debris from the collision flew up and shattered the window of Sal’s Pizza Restaurant located at that intersection, police say.

“Luckily no one else was injured,” Sullivan County Sheriff Mike Schiff stated in a press release. “The Equinox would have definitely crashed into the house if the Silverado pickup truck was not parked out front."
