A 77-year-old driver lost control of his Jeep SUV and crashed into North Side Elementary School in East Williston Sunday evening, Nassau police said.
The school was vacant and classes are not currently in session for the summer.
The driver suffered a medical episode and hit the north end of the school, at 110 East Williston Ave. around 6:15 PM.
“The operator was removed to an area hospital for treatment and evaluation,” a police statement said.
A photo taken by Stephanie Zito shows the SUV fully inside the school, inches from bookshelves.
“East Williston Fire Department was on scene and deemed the building safe,” police said.
