Ross Intermediate School closed after vehicle crashes into building

A vehicle crashed into Ross Intermediate School on Hamilton Cleves Road Thursday afternoon. Police said no one was injured.

The call came in at around 3 p.m. just as school was letting out for the day. Sgt. Bryan Rogers with Ross Police said the driver lost control and hit the window.

Reports indicate the driver’s foot was stuck on the accelerator. Video from the school security cameras released after the incident shows a white SUV turning into the school’s entrance and pulling behind others in the carpool lane. The vehicle then turns right and accelerates, hitting the building.

There were no students or staff in the room, which is believed to have been a type of storage room.

The driver’s identification was not released. It was not immediately known how much the damages will cost.

Ross Intermediate School is closed until Monday, officials said.
