SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Authorities reported that a suspect was taken into custody following a car crashing into a post office in San Jose, California, early Sunday, which led to the building catching fire. No injuries were reported.

According to a joint statement from the San Jose police and fire departments, emergency crews arrived at the scene at approximately 3 a.m. The incident occurred at a post office situated within a strip mall just south of downtown.

“Upon arrival, they discovered a vehicle had driven into the post office, igniting a fire that caused the entire building to catch fire,” stated the report.

About 50 firefighters took about an hour and a half to knock down the flames. Photos posted online by the fire department showed a charred vehicle inside the heavily damaged one-story building.

No details about the suspect were immediately released, and officials said federal postal inspectors would lead the investigation. An email was sent to the U.S. Postal Inspection Service seeking additional details.

Nearly 2 million people live in the metropolitan area of San Jose, about 50 miles (80 kilometers) south of downtown San Francisco.
