Hillsborough County Fire Rescue responded to 911 calls stating a vehicle had struck an apartment building on Palm Bay Drive around 9:38 a.m.

According to HCFR, preliminary investigation uncovered that the driver backed into one apartment building before pulling forward into a second apartment, causing structural damage.
