E44-4 under command of 2nd Asst Chief Hankins(44-17) and on arrival found a 2 vehicle MVC in the intersection with a tractor trailer partially into the All-Tech Auto located on the corner. Both drivers were already out of thier vehicles and were being assessed by crews from A & B 64. The crew from 44-4 and R44 secured both vehicles, laid down absorbent, and cleaned up the roadway of a large amount of debris. The reefer unit on the trailer sustained major damage and was leaking freon which was contained to a small amount. 44-17 requested that a county inspector come and assess the damage to the building. Both drivers were transported to KGH by 64 with minor injuries.

The building sustained mild-moderate damage to the carport/overhang area.
