One person was injured when a car carrying three people crashed into a lumber wholesale company on Chestnut Street in Hartford around 7 a.m. on Wednesday.
Stephanie Diaz was in the back seat of the car when the crash happened and said the brakes gave out when her friend drove around the curb, so her husband tried to grab the wheel and help.
Diaz said she is grateful to be alive and thankful for a fence that they struck, which reduced the impact when they hit the building.
Diaz's husband was hurt and taken to Hartford Hospital, she said.
Diaz and the driver suffered minor injuries.
