The incident took place 11 p.m. Tuesday when the Red Hook Police Department responded to a 911 call reporting a ca into a building on Robbins Road at the college in Annandale-on-Hudson, Red Hook Police said.

Upon arrival, police found that the 19-year-old Georgia man had driven through a parking lot, striking two parked unoccupied vehicles then reversed the vehicle which went through an unoccupied building.

Driver inexperience was deemed the primary factor into the crash, with neither drugs nor alcohol playing a factor, police said.

No one was in the building at the time of the crash and there were no reported injuries.

The driver was written tickets for unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle and unsafe backing.

The Tivoli Fire Department and Northern Dutchess Paramedics assisted at the scene.
