FRASER, Mich. (WXYZ) — A box truck crashed into an auto repair shop in Fraser Wednesday after the driver had a medical emergency, police say.

Police confirmed that the driver of the box truck had a medical emergency at the time but did not know exactly what that was.
One person, a tow truck driver named Dallas Duckworth, was injured. 7 News Detroit reporter Tiarra Braddock spoke to Duckworth's brother Austin. He says his brother has a broken leg.
“He’s going to be in some pain for a while, but as soon as he gets fixed up, he’s going to have a short, long recovery to say the least," Austin Duckworth said.
Braddock asked: “What was that moment like when you first saw your brother at the hospital?"
“It was relieving — relieved to know that he was still with us," Austin Duckworth said.

"He almost hit a utility pole, hit a snowbank and plowed right into the front of a building, where a flatbed tow truck was delivering a vehicle it looked like," Gmeiner said.
He said he immediately called 911.
First responders were at the scene Wednesday evening. Police blocked off a portion of the road near the building after the crash.
Crews worked to temporarily patch the wall.
