Vehicle crashes into Lawrence library

The Lawrence Public Library’s Teen Zone is closed today after an early morning accident in which a vehicle struck the east side of the building at 707 Vermont St., breaking two of the vertical pane windows, according to Lawrence police.

A glass window area on the east side of the Lawrence Public Library was damaged after a vehicle lost control and hit the building sometime overnight. A sign posted on the library front door said the Teen Zone inside the building was closed due to the damage.

Sometime before 3:00 a.m., a man driving a white pickup truck left the roadway and struck the building, said Sgt. Max Miller.

Miller said witnesses heard tires squealing followed by a loud crash. The accident is being investigated as an OUI, Miller said.
