No one was injured after a vehicle struck the Peterborough Sport and Wellness Centre building near the swimming pool area on Wednesday morning.

According to Rob McAulay, facility manager, around 6:40 a.m., a vehicle slowly backed into the corner of the building, shattering a window.

He tells Global News Peterborough that people were in the pool at the time of the collision. However, no injuries were reported.

The City of Peterborough issued a statement at 10:15 a.m. stating the leisure and therapy pools were closed and all aquatic programs were cancelled.

However, at 11:45 a.m., the city provided an update, stating both pools would reopen at 4 p.m. and aquatic programs would also resume at that time.
