WEST CHESTER TOWNSHIP, Ohio — One person is in the hospital after a pickup truck crashed into a Dollar General in West Chester Township, investigators said.

The store was heavily damaged when the truck smashed through the front windows.

It happened around 12:20 a.m. Thursday at the store along Princeton Glendale Road.

The truck hit the building with so much force that its front half was lodged into the store.

Police said the driver of the pickup truck was taken to the hospital. Their condition is unknown.

A WCPO photojournalist saw a second car at the scene that also had a lot of damage.

Investigators have not said if they know what caused the crash but they did say it is being investigated as a possible OVI.

It is unclear how many people were involved or if anyone was inside the store when the crash happened.
