A customer suffered minor injuries when a vehicle crashed through the front door of the Beer Store at College Square on Wednesday morning.
Emergency crews were called to Baseline Road just before 11 a.m. after reports of a vehicle striking a business. Ottawa Police confirmed that a customer inside the store was hit by the vehicle and was transported to the hospital for treatment. The driver of the vehicle was also taken to the hospital.
The Beer Store has stated that it hopes to reopen the location “as soon as possible”, but did not provide further details due to the ongoing investigation.
Ottawa Fire Services confirmed that the building’s structural integrity was compromised, and the Structural Collapse Team assessed the damage.
