At least three people were hurt when a tanker truck slammed into a grocery and liquor store in Jackson on Thursday morning after a multi-vehicle crash that caused extensive damage and forced road closures in the area. 

One person was seriously injured and flown to a hospital, while two others were also hurt, according to Ocean Sheriff Michael Mastronardy. Two other vehicles were involved in the initial crash. 

Photos taken at Glory’s Discount Market on Cedar Swamp Road show the front of the store heavily damaged with items strew across the inside of the deli area of the store. 

The one-story business is located at the intersection of Cedar Swamp Road and East Commodore Boulevard. East Commodore Boulevard re-opened at about 1:45 p.m, police said in a brief statement.
