An SUV hit a building in Quincy, Massachusetts, on Tuesday morning, according to emergency officials in the city.

The crash happened at a building on Adams Street at around 8:40 a.m., according to the Quincy Fire Department.

Aerial footage of the scene showed a silver SUV that hit the side of the building, leaving damage to the structure. The video showed someone reversing the SUV from where it crashed.

The address of the building is listed as being home to several businesses, including a daycare and dance studio.

Everyone in the building has been evacuated and is reported to be safe, according to the Quincy Police Department.

The damage done to the wall was near the daycare, making for a close call since there were children inside.

"They said there was about three kids and the owner of the daycare, like push them all back and you know thank God because it could've ended a lot worse," a parent named Janine Bushman said.

Investigators said a school mom was behind the wheel and believe it was an accident. The woman's husband told NBC10 Boston she had pressed the gas rather than the brake.

Crews are working to assess the damage to the building.
