Firefighters in South Jersey helped rescue a driver who slammed their SUV into a business early Tuesday.

Firefighters responded to Cenco Heating Oil & Propane just before 12:40 a.m. to find the SUV nearly completely inside the brick exterior, photos of the crash scene posted by the fire department show and a fire department source said.
“Crews assisted the driver with extraction and was turned over to ems and transported to a local trauma center,” the fire department wrote.
The driver also took down a traffic light and struck a natural gas line, the source said.
It took crews about one hour to get everything under control, the source said.
