Police in Massachusetts are investigating what they say was a chain-reaction crash that left two cars stuck inside the front of what used to be a restaurant outside Boston.

The incident happened around 7:45 p.m. Monday night off Route 1 in Saugus, Boston 25 News reported. 

Investigation details provided to the TV station showed that a 62-year-old man lost control of his SUV and struck a vacant white Prius parked in the area, sending both vehicles into the building that used to house a Boston Market.
