Ashley England, an employee at the drycleaner, said she was behind the counter before the crash but jumped out of the way just in time.

The accident forced the business to close for the day, but a few customers managed to pick up and drop off their items at the side window.

Baker Cleaners is celebrating 30 years in Cobourg this year, with the Elgin location marking their second outlet in the area.

The incident is under investigation.
