Driver crashes Mercedes into North Vancouver pharmacy

Police say it appears the driver mistakenly hit the gas instead of the brakes.

North Vancouver RCMP say a driver suffered minor injuries after she drove her SUV through a Central Lonsdale pharmacy window, Friday.

The incident happened at Remedy’s Rx drugstore on 16th street at Lonsdale Avenue around 10:30 a.m.

As of Friday afternoon, the investigation was still ongoing, however the RCMP say it appears the elderly woman at the wheel of a white G Series Mercedes mistook the brake pedal for the gas.

Paramedics were called to treat the driver who had minor injuries. No pedestrians or bystanders were hurt.

On Sept. 11, a driver in West Vancouver crashed through the Caulfeild Village B.C. Liqour Store.
