On Sunday, June 2, at approximately 8:40 a.m., Lawrence Township Police Department received multiple 9-1-1 calls reporting that a vehicle had crashed into the building of Worldwide Floor Covering at 2750 Brunswick Pike in Lawrenceville.
Officers arrived on-scene to find the front doors of the business shattered and a 2016 Toyota sedan inside of the building, police said.
The driver of the vehicle, Jinyan Li, 36, of Lawrenceville, was not injured, police said.
As a result of the investigation conducted on-scene, it was determined that Li was operating his vehicle eastbound on Darrah Lane prior to the crash.
