Vehicle crashes through one of Citrus Heights’ oldest businesses

By Sara Beth Williams–
A vehicle crashed through the entrance of a furniture store on Mariposa Avenue on Monday, according to police. 

Citrus Heights Police were called out to Mariposa Avenue near Antelope Road after 1 p.m. on Monday afternoon, April 14, to reports of a single vehicle running into the front entrance of Hall’s Furniture on Mariposa Avenue. Police said Tuesday the vehicle had only one female occupant, and that the building sustained minor damage.

Hall’s Furniture remains open as of Thursday. Plywood has replaced the front windows that were damaged during the incident. Photos shared with The Sentinel by Hall’s Furniture staff show a white SUV crashing all the way through the front entrance and into the store, taking out the doorway and front glass windows. The vehicle also struck multiple pieces of furniture, which Hall’s Furniture employee William Le said will need to be replaced. Ordering new furniture can take three months, Le estimated.

Le also said multiple people were inside the store at the time of the incident, but no injuries were reported by store staff or police officials. Hall’s Furniture did not disclose the cost of replacing furniture or the timeline for repairing the entrance.

The female driver was evaluated at the scene by medical personnel but was not transported to the hospital, according to police. No arrests were made. 

Hall’s Furniture is located at 7752 Mariposa Ave.
