Police say first responders arrived to find a red SUV had “come to a stop against an interior wall, after completely entering the medical clinic.”

They say the driver was a 78-year-old woman who was assessed and determined to be sober and uninjured. 

Const. Andrew Hodges says in a news release that “driver confusion” appeared to be the main factor in the accident.

“There was potential for a lot more injuries, or worse in this incident. We wish the one injured woman a full recovery,” he says in the statement.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Feb. 28, 2025.
