Officials left, but were called back to the medical office when Oskouei and others noticed more damage.
That’s when they saw the truck, which had driven through fences and bushes after hitting the building. The driver was DUI, according to police.
The owner said he has “no idea” of the extent of the damage.
“The good news here,” Oskouei said, “is nobody got hurt.”
