Investigators said one person was taken to a hospital from the scene.
A pickup truck and a Jeep crashed through the wall of Rising Crust Pizzeria.
Sources tell Channel 11 that multiple people were initially trapped.
As of 11 p.m., both vehicles had been towed away.
Etna Borough Fire Chief Greg Porter said he believes the truck lost control while coming off nearby Route 28 and smashed into a parked vehicle outside the building.
The driver of the truck was taken to a nearby hospital. She is expected to be OK. Officials said she had to be rescued and that it took about 15 minutes to get her extricated.
Porter said the damage to the building is extensive.
“There’s damage on the first floor through the left side, which we would call the bravo side wall. The vehicle pushed down into the basement through the first floor, so what we’re working on right now is getting that floor stabilized,” Porter said.
Stabilizing the building is a slow operation.
