The police were still investigating what led the driver to crash into the building around 8.40pm, but it did not appear to be intentional, said Sergeant Chris Castiglia of the New Rochelle Police Department.

He did not immediately have further details on how badly the two people were injured.

Videos posted on social media on Tuesday night showed the Mercedes sitting in the lobby with its bonnet and boot popped open, as firefighters clambered in and out of the building.
