A semi-truck got a little too close to an Ann Arbor gas station on Wednesday morning, damaging the building and forcing it to close for a time.

The truck hit the building at 1420 E. Stadium Blvd. at about 6:45 a.m.

The driver pulled into the parking lot of the gas station from East Stadium, but part of the trailer clipped the awning along the roof of the building, said Ann Arbor police Lt. Renee Bush.

The driver told police he misjudged the distance of the building from the semi, Bush said.

No injuries were reported in the incident, but Ann Arbor Fire officials were called to the scene to evaluate whether the building was structurally sound.

Employees of the gas station were not available Wednesday morning to comment.
