TUCHI’S FURNITURE DAMAGED IN FRIDAY AFTERNOON ACCIDENT

  

A Brenham furniture store suffered damage after a Friday afternoon accident.

Just before 2 p.m., the Brenham Fire Department was dispatched to a reported transportation incident at Tuchi’s Furniture at 1002 East Blue Bell Road.

When firefighters arrived, they found a vehicle had hit the building, knocking down part of the wall.  They reported that part of the exterior wall had fallen, and the inside wall had major damage.

Update @ 8:40 a.m.: According to Brenham Fire Department Captain Greg Nienstedt, the driver involved in the incident accidentally accelerated instead of braking when pulling into a parking space, which caused the vehicle to ride up over the planter box outside the business and hit the wall.

The business was asked to close until someone could come and repair the building.

According to the fire department, everyone had evacuated the building before firefighters arrived.   No one was injured.
