No one was injured when a car plowed into the vacant former VNA headquarters in Red Bank early Sunday morning.
The vehicle struck the same spot hit in a 2017 crash, which neighbors cited in raising safety concerns about a massive development plan for the location.

A passenger injured when a tour van collided with a dump truck in Rumson Thursday is in critical condition, authorities said Friday.
Details about the incident remained undisclosed as authorities withheld the identity of the victim, by name, age, town of residence or gender. The passenger was transported by helicopter to Jersey Shore Medical Center in Neptune after the crash.
Nine people were in the Visiting Nurse Association van, said First Assistant Prosecutor Rick Incremona of the Monmouth County Prosecutor‘s office, which is investigating. Two incurred minor injuries, he said.
No charges have been filed, said Incremona, who declined to identify the van’s driver.
