Car shunted into shop

Police talk to witnesses near a car that crashed into the Salvation Army building in Oamaru’s North End yesterday.

The female driver was taken to Oamaru Hospital with moderate injuries after the mid-afternoon crash.

The car she was driving  was shunted into the shop after being hit by the car behind it.

That car then spun and crashed into a parked car. Salvation Army North End Family Store manager Leighton McLay said the car broke a window.
