A truck crashed through a grocery store on the corner of 45th Street and 48th Avenue yesterday leaving two people seriously hurt and one with minor injuries.

Witnesses said that a truck went barreling into Path’s Grocery store after hitting a SUV that had run through a stop sign.

The FDNY, which had few details on the incident, said it was called to the scene at about 1pm. The FDNY confirmed the incident and said three people hurt were taken to Elmhurst Hospital, although none with life-threatening injuries.

The FDNY was unable to provide details as to how the accident occurred.

Several firefighters were on the scene yesterday afternoon clearing debris and broken glass.
