NEWPORT NEWS, Va. — A 63-year-old Newport News man damaged a fire engine and a glass door at a Denbigh fire station Thursday afternoon after he purposely drove into a fire station building, police said.
The man crashed his Toyota Corolla at Fire Station #9 at 14417 Old Courthouse Way just before 1:30 p.m., Newport News Police Department spokeswoman Holly McPherson said.
No injuries were reported as a result of the crash, and the man was taken to a local hospital for a psychological evaluation, she said.
The man was not attempting to commit suicide, but McPherson said the department would not be releasing more information about the circumstances of the incident.
A glass bay door sustained extensive damage, and the fire truck received minor damage, although it will be out of service until officials can determine how much, McPherson said.
