EAST FLATBUSH — A car crashed into a Dunkin' Donuts on Utica Avenue Monday afternoon, injuring one person, the FDNY said.

The vehicle struck the front of the 610 Utica Ave. shop at about 1:37 p.m., smashing a window and causing a wall to partially cave in, an FDNY spokesman said.

The injured person was taken to Kings County Hospital with minor injuries and was listed in stable condition, officials said. It was not immediately clear if the person was in the car or the Dunkin' Donuts at the time, authorities said.

Department of Buildings inspectors were requested to check the structural stability of the building after the incident, according to the agency’s website.
