A van crashed into the YMCA in Foxborough, causing significant damage and sending four young children to the hospital.
Four children, all under the age of five, were taken to the hospital on Tuesday after a van crashed into a YMCA building in Foxborough, Massachusetts, officials said.
Police said the four children suffered non-life-threatening injuries when the vehicle smashed through the building on Mechanic Street around 4:30 p.m. Foxborough Fire Chief Michael Kelleher said the injured children were at a day care inside the building. The injuries were mostly from flying broken glass, not serious traumatic injuries, he added.
