Police said the crash took place at approximately 2:10 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 31 at the intersection of Whalley Avenue and Central Avenue in the Westville Village of New Haven, causing "significant damage." The building in question at 881 Whalley Avenue houses CT Orthodontics and Westville Family Dental. 

The driver, Kevin Egan, was reportedly treated for minor injuries after the incident at Yale New Haven Hospital, and will appear in court for sentencing later this month.

According to an employee at the Bridgeport branch of CT Orthodontics, the New Haven location will be closed for a few weeks to accommodate repairs to the building. 

An investigation into the accident is still ongoing, and witnesses who have yet to speak with police are asked to call 203-946-6316.
