Toledo, Ohio – The main branch of the Toledo Urban Federal Credit Union (TUFCU) will be closed in the coming months following a dramatic crash early Sunday morning. At around 5 a.m. on April 6, a driver crashed into the building located on Dorr Street near North Detroit Avenue. The collision caused significant damage to the structure and compromised utilities, including a gas line and the main power lines.
According to police on the scene, the driver struck the building and the gas line before fleeing the scene. The identity of the driver remains unknown, and no arrests have been made at this time.
The crash resulted in a temporary disruption for credit union members, who were unable to access their account information due to the power outage. However, a representative from TUFCU confirmed that the system has since been restored, and members can now access their accounts as usual.
Crews from a local restoration company have been working to clean up the damage. They reported that the crash had knocked out the building’s main power lines and caused a dangerous breach in the gas line. Despite the initial setbacks, efforts are underway to repair the damage, although the closure of the branch is expected to last for an extended period as repairs continue.
While there were no reports of injuries at the time of the crash, authorities are continuing their investigation into the incident. The credit union has not yet provided specific details about when services will fully resume at the main branch. In the meantime, members are encouraged to use online banking services or visit other branch locations for assistance.
As the investigation continues, police are urging anyone with information about the crash or the driver’s whereabouts to come forward.
