A 63-year-old woman was charged with careless driving after police said she drove into the front of a Woolwich Township business Saturday.

Waterloo Regional Police said first responders were called to the area of Industrial Drive and Oriole Parkway East at around 1:15 p.m. where a Nissan Murano allegedly drove into the front door of a business, while also hitting another vehicle and causing significant damage to the building.

Police confirmed to CTV News in an email that the vehicle was driven into a store called the Village Pet Food Shoppe.

“No physical injuries were reported as a result of this incident, and the building was deemed structurally safe,” police said in a media release.

Police also confirmed no animals were hurt.
