PITTSBURGH (AP) – A vehicle has crashed onto the roof of a supermarket in Pittsburgh, and the store has been evacuated as a precaution.

The crash happened late Tuesday morning at a Giant Eagle store in the city’s Greenfield neighborhood.

The store sits on a lot below some other city streets. Images on WPXI-TV show the right-rear roof is slightly below street level.

It appears the motorist drove off a road that above the store, through a chain-link fence and onto the store roof. It landed right-side up.

Fire Chief Mike Mullen says the impact tore part of the roofing and gasoline leaked from the car into the store.
