LEWISTON — KeyBank at 12 East Ave. was closed Monday afternoon after a vehicle struck the building, police spokesman Lt. Derrick St. Laurent said.

He did not have immediate information on the driver and the vehicle.

City Building Inspector Steve LeBrun deemed the building safe for employees to continue conducting business, but not near the area damaged, Angelynne Amores, director of marketing and communications for the city, said. The bank closed as a precautionary measure and has engaged an engineer to assess the damage, she said, and it will be up to the bank whether to remain open.

Key Bank declined to comment on the incident.
