Philadelphia Housing Authority Van Leaves Hole in Side of Day Care

A Philadelphia Housing Authority van slammed into the brick façade of a West Philadelphia day care center Wednesday morning leaving one person hurt.

The white van crashed into the Caring Center at 31st and Spring Garden streets in the city’s Mantua section around 11:30 a.m.

Children were in the center at the time but luckily the van struck the building outside the kitchen – leaving a 6 foot-by-5-foot hole in the bricks. None of the children were hurt and the day care said it continued to operate as normal aside from using the kitchen.

Medics took the van’s driver to nearby Presbyterian Hospital as a precaution, said police.
