A male driver was arrested and charged with impaired driving and a woman was taken to a hospital by paramedics. The male driver was also treated for non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
Judy Clark is the manager of the East End Garden Centre, which occupies the building that was struck by the vehicle.
She said the building was hit so hard that merchandise was knocked off the shelves inside the store.
Clark said the male suspect smelled of alcohol.
“The police officer who arrested him told me he was (allegedly) wearing a red wrist band, which likely came from an after-hours club,” Clark said.
The man involved in the collision was in his 40s and the woman was in her 30s.
“She was holding her leg and was rocking back and forth. She was hurt,” Clark said.
