A car slammed into the window of a bank in south Edmonton on Wednesday at 11:35 a.m., injuring an employee and causing extensive damage.
Edmonton police said a 62-year-old woman was trying to park her Toyota Corolla in a disabled stall on the west side of the CIBC at Gateway Boulevard and 42nd Avenue when “she accidentally hit the accelerator.”
The car went through a large window, EPS said, pinning a man inside a nearby office who was sitting at his desk.

The man was treated and taken to hospital by paramedics with what police described as “serious, non-life-threatening injuries.”
The CIBC building sustained extensive damage, EPS said.
Police don’t believe speed, impairment nor a medical episode were factors.
The driver is facing Traffic Safety Act charges.
