Two were taken to the hospital after a Lexus SUV drove through a travel agency in a strip mall near University Street and Clarewood Avenue. According to the Peoria Fire Department, fire crews were dispatched to Direct Travel at approximately 1:47 p.m. and saw a vehicle in the building with an employee trapped inside. Crews worked to get the driver out of the vehicle and then worked to remove an employee who was stuck between the vehicle and a structural supporting wall. The employee had minor injuries. Both the driver and the employee were taken to the hospital. The property owner, Molly Gilles, said a company would be coming to safely clean the area and board up broken doors and windows. It is unknown when the business will reopen. City of Peoria Code Enforcement was also called to the scene to determine the structural damage to the building.
