Share

Ottawa paramedics say two people suffered minor injuries after a driver crashed into a bank branch in Barrhaven.

Emergency crews were called to the Scotiabank on Strandherd Drive near Greenbank Road just before noon for the crash.

Ottawa police said an elderly woman driver hit the building via the parking lot. 

Paramedics said the two people who were assessed at the scene did not require a trip to the hospital.

Ottawa firefighters also attended to examine the building and determined its structural integrity was not compromised by the crash.

No road closures were implemented. 

"The safety of our employees and customers is our top priority. At this time, no injuries were reported and we have been in regular contact with the branch to ensure our employees have all of the support they need including counselling and support services," a Scotiabank spokesperson said in a statement to CTV News Ottawa. "We are actively working with authorities in their investigation."
