Truks-N-Trykes owner Jeremy Cotton told Dakota News Now, "We had an accident today at the center. Everybody is safe, kids are all safe. Everything is going as well as it could. Right now, that’s about all that we know. Structurally, we’re going to figure out what we’re going to do with the building, but everybody is safe."

Talk about a freak accident.

Having a van crash through the front door of your child's daycare facility is about the last thing you'd expect to happen when you drop off your little one for daycare each day.

According to Dakota News Now, representatives from Truks-N-Trykes were on top of the situation right away. They notified parents and guardians of the children staying at the daycare immediately after the accident occurred. Parents were instructed to come pick up their children so that a damage assessment could be conducted.

An investigation is still underway as to what led to the accident. However, Dakota News Now reports that the van was removed from the structure by 10:30 on Wednesday morning.

Truks-N-Trykes will be back open for business again on Thursday (April 10) at 11:00 AM, after receiving clearance from the city of Sioux Falls and DSS Childcare Licensing to resume daycare services.
