Shewell noted it’s very fortunate no one was hurt as it’s a normally busy location.

A damage estimate isn’t available at this time, but Shewell noted the store didn’t appear to have suffered structural damage.

Fire crews were able to assist tow truck operators with removing the vehicle from the store.

It’s unknown what lead the driver to crash into the store and London police haven’t said whether charges are pending in connection with the case.
