Driver suffers minor injuries after crashing into Waterloo grocery store

Police are investigating after a vehicle crashed into a grocery store in a commercial plaza on Laurelwood Drive in Waterloo Saturday afternoon.

Waterloo Regional Police say the incident happened around 4:40 p.m.

“We were just driving by, going to our friend’s pool and saw a bunch of fire trucks and a bunch of cop cars and [we were] kind of wondering what was going on,” said Waterloo resident Justin Schreiter.

According to police, the vehicle remained lodged in the building as crews assessed the structure’s integrity.

“We grew up here and never seen this happen before, so it’s pretty wild,” said Waterloo resident Ian Gregg.

The driver was taken to hospital with minor injuries.

Investigators are working to determine the cause of the collision.

No other injuries have been reported at this time.
