Car hits wall in downtown Charlottetown

A driver attempting to park on Queen Street in downtown Charlottetown jumped the curb and hit the wall of a building Tuesday morning, according to police.

Charlottetown Deputy police Chief BradMacConnellsays officers responded to a call just before 11 a.m., and are still on scene securing the building.

"Because the building was breached due to the impact ...they're providing security until the owners can secure the businesses at that location,"MacConnellsaid.

One lane on Queen Street, between Kent and Grafton, had reopened, and MacConnellsays it should be clear soon.

There were no injuries.

MacConnellsaid charges could be laid but an investigation has to be completed first.

"Possible but unlikely, given the circumstances as we see it certainly an accident, fortunately no one was seriously hurt but there is some property damage that occurred," he said.

"The matter will be reviewed, once we have all the details and assessments done and a decision will be made at that time."

With four cruise ships docked in Charlottetown and thousands of tourists MacConnell said it was"very fortunate no one was hurt."
