Emergency crews were called to Hot Sox Laundry on Ross Road just after 10 a.m.

“Upon arrival, we noticed an elderly lady had just taken out a bit of a post there,” acting fire captain Jason Weill said.

“I was inside and I heard a ‘whomp,’” laundromat owner Rob Walker said.

It appeared that the guard rail had stopped the car from going further, Weill said.

“And also she must have had the brakes on as well,” he added.

No one was injured in the collision, and there was no damage to the inside of the business, Weill said.
