Car plows into produce section at Metro Vancouver Whole Foods (VIDEO)
Two people are hurt and an entire produce department is in shambles after a car careened into a grocery store in Metro Vancouver Friday morning.
It happened at the Whole Foods Market at The Village at Park Royal in West Vancouver.
According to West Vancouver Police, the incident resulted in injuries and significant property damage.
West Vancouver Police, BC Ambulance and West Vancouver Fire and Rescue attended the Whole Foods just after 11 am after a report that a car had driven into the store.
“While it is unknown what the driver was doing at the time of the incident, he managed to drive into the grocery store, turn left and take out half of the produce department,” said police. The driver was a male in his 80s and he was brought to hospital for precautionary measures.
Another person was hurt and was sent to hospital in stable condition, according to the BCEHS, but it could have been much worse.
