One unit in the Village Apartments behind Zappy’s restaurant in Akeley was hit by a vehicle Monday afternoon. A cinder block/concrete block wall in one of the seven units took the hit.
Owner/manager Bruce Bolton said he could not comment on the cause of the accident, which is under investigation.
“It was a tenant,” he said. “I believe this tenant was arriving home. I’m very thankful that nobody was hurt, that was the primary concern when I heard about what had happened. We have great tenants over there, and everyone was relieved when it appeared everyone was OK. It’s a pretty close-knit community.
“The main damage happened in a bedroom, and thankfully no one was in the bedroom at the time.”
Bolton said he was notified of the accident around 4 p.m. May 16. He said the unit that was damaged will be assessed and repaired as soon as possible.

“It damaged a section of cement blocks and the interior of that same wall,” he said. “We’ve got a temporary wall up, so it is OK for habitation.”
