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."
