Truck Slams Into Rockville Bakery In Icy Crash

The truck ran into the Fresh Baguette Bakery at 804 Hungerford Dr., just before 10 a.m., Montgomery County Fire & Rescue Servicespokesperson Pete Piringer said.

There were no injuries reported and no patrons were in the cafe at the time of the crash.

Piringer cited the icy conditions in the parking lot of the cafe.

A building inspector was requested to evaluate the property damage. The bakery will stay open.

Montgomery County is currently under a weather advisory. With temperatures hovering right around 32 degrees, slick spots remain on the roads.

The expected wintry mix will result in dicey travel conditions, and officials warn drivers to be prepared for reduced visibility at times, along with slick roads.
