The city hall and community center in Monticello were closed Thursday after a pickup truck drove into the building.
The Wright County Sheriff’s Office said it happened at about 8 a.m. Deputies found that a truck had crashed through the east doors of the building on Walnut Street, which also houses the Monticello Senior Center.
The man driving the truck — the only person in the vehicle — was taken to a hospital with what authorities said were non-life-threatening injuries.
The sheriff’s office did not report any other injuries.
Officials said inspections showed the building remains structurally sound — and the city hall, community center and senior center will be back open as usual on Friday. The east entrance will remain closed while the damage is repaired.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
