No Tickets Issued In Minivan Crash, Building Deemed Structurally Sound

The Livingston Building Department also inspected the building where the tutoring center is located for structural and safety issues.

Police have yet to issue any summonses in a motor vehicle crash Monday that involved a 50-year-old woman driving a minivan into a tutoring center on Livingston Avenue. 

Police are still investigating how a 50-year-old West Orange woman crashed her 2013 Toyota Sienna into the storefront of Kumon Math And Reading Center of Livingston, at 95 E. Mount Pleasant Ave., around 7:30 p.m. Monday, said Livingston Police Sgt. Anthony Dippold. 

"As of right now, there are no summonses that have been issued, but it is still under investigation," said Dippold. 

After careening over the curb and through shrubs, the Toyota minivan nearly crashed through the large panel window of the tutoring center’s waiting room where about five parents were at the time of the crash, according to eyewitnesses. 

Livingston police and firefighters were needed to remove the West Orange driver from the Toyota minivan.

The driver, who was placed on a stretcher after being removed from the car, was taken to Morristown Medical Center Trauma Center. Dippold said police did not know the extend of the woman's injuries. 

Kathy Lee, the owner of Kumon Math And Reading Center of Livingston, said about 15 people were in the building at the time of the crash on Monday. 

No one inside the tutoring center was injured in the crash, said Dippold.

The Livingston Building Department also inspected the building where the tutoring center is located and found it was structurally sound, Dippold said
