Valley Stream woman crashes into Valley Van on West Merrick Road

A Valley Stream woman drove her car into Valley Van & Sport Utilities on West Merrick Road at roughly 5 p.m. on April 20. 

Footage of the wreckage shows a part of the storefront collapsed into rubble with piles of boxes, damaged front display shelves, and other torn store merchandise sprawled on the floor of the 47,000-square-foot facility.

Store representatives, identified Diedra Valentine as the driver of the vehicle, said the damaged wall of the automotive repair and maintenance store has since been boarded up and the store remains open for business.

Police would not disclose whether a criminal investigation is being conducted. No injuries were reported.
