Delayed At The Gate

I arrived at my delivery yesterday morning to find no one in the guard shack and an employee talking to someone in an SUV. They knew I was there, so I waited. Shortly a police and ambulance arrived. I then noticed that the guard shack didn’t look square on its stand. It looked like a large truck had pulled up close to the shack to reach the window. I’m thinking the driver turned too sharply and pushed the guard shack off its foundation with the box overhang. The occupant of the SUV, who was receiving all the attention, turned out to be the gate guard staying out of the weather. He limped to the ambulance and everyone left. No one gave me directions after the half hour delay, so I proceeded to Shipping and Receiving.
