SALMON ARM, СÀ¶ÊÓƵ — A woman who was inside a medical clinic in Salmon Arm, СÀ¶ÊÓƵ, was injured and brought to hospital after she was struck by a vehicle that drove through the building.

RCMP say the crash was reported on Thursday.

Officers, firefighters and paramedics attended the scene.

Police say first responders arrived to find a red SUV had "come to a stop against an interior wall, after completely entering the medical clinic."

They say the driver was a 78-year-old woman who was assessed and determined to be sober and uninjured.

Const. Andrew Hodges says in a news release that "driver confusion" appeared to be the main factor in the accident.

"There was potential for a lot more injuries, or worse in this incident. We wish the one injured woman a full recovery," he says in the statement.
