PASADENA — A pickup truck crashed through a Head Start office in Pasadena Saturday, badly damaging the building but causing no serious injuries, officials said.
Leovardo Palmeros, 58, of Pasadena was booked on suspicion of a misdemeanor count of driving without a license and released following the crash, Pasadena police Lt. Chris Russ said.
The crash occurred about 10:15 a.m. at the children’s services office at Fair Oaks Avenue and Montana Street, the lieutenant said.
Palmeros lost control of his pickup truck and crashed it directly into the double doors of the head start office, wedging it in the door frame, police said.
Palmeros suffered minor injuries but declined to be taken to a hospital, Pasadena Fire Department spokeswoman Lisa Derderian said.
The office was closed for business, and no one was inside.
The building suffered significant damage, but remained structurally sound, she said.
