SASKATOON – Saskatoon police dealt with two separate incidents involving vehicles striking buildings in the city on Wednesday.
Emergency services were called to a collision around 2:15 p.m. involving a business in the 3000-block of Diefenbaker Drive.
A van breached a wall of a Salvation Army thrift store and one person was trapped inside the vehicle.
Firefighters used a winch to pull the van away from the building and then removed the driver.
A store employee was also injured in the collision.
Both of their injuries considered to be non-life threatening.
Fire officials say damage to the building did not compromise the integrity of the structure.
Earlier on Wednesday morning, police were called to the 3300-block of 33rd Street West where another vehicle had collided with a building.
Police say a truck jumped a curb and broke through a window of a convenience store around 10 a.m.
No one was injured in this collision.
The driver of the truck was issued a ticket for driving without due care and attention.
