A woman who reportedly took a vehicle for a test drive crashed it into a Peterborough-area dealership and parked vehicles on Friday afternoon.
Around 3 p.m., emergency crews were called to Trent Valley Honda on Highway 7 east for reports of a vehicle crash in the dealership’s parking lot. The dealership is just east of the city’s limits in Otonabee-South Monaghan Township.
Dealership officials and firefighters on scene tell Global News that a woman was taking a SUV for a test drive when she lost control of the vehicle. The SUV first struck the side of the dealership’s showroom and then struck half a dozen vehicles in the side parking lot.
