It is not a good day for workers arriving at the New Zealand meat pie company at 107 Shorncliffe Rd., near North Queen.
It was just after 7 a.m. this morning when there was a huge boom as an unattended cement truck crashed into the pie company causing “significant damage,” according to police.
Police say no one was in the truck at the time of the collision. It is unknown if charges will be laid in the incident.
There were no injuries.
The crash caused extensive damage to the front of the building and the company’s website warn they will be closed until further notice.
Detectives from 22 Division are probing the incident and how the truck, without a driver, managed to smash into the popular pie store, which has been there for a number of years and has a devoted following.
The truck somehow ended up in the roadway, where it was blocking traffic in the area.
The area was shut to traffic as an investigation was being conducted and debris swept up. It is unclear as to the damages of the building and truck.
