A black, four-door Toyota Camry hit Century 21 Wilbur Realty, located at 548 S. Water St., at approximately 1:35 p.m.
Lt. Michael Lewis said the vehicle was headed southbound when the driver attempted to pull into the parking lot of apartment complex University Inn by making a right turn. The driver subsequently lost control of the vehicle and crashed into the building next door, which is south of University Inn.
The driver received minor injuries. The number of people in the vehicle and building is unknown at this time.
The car, which was towed from the scene, left tire marks in the grass in front of the building, and several bricks were dislodged from the building.
“I heard a big boom, and I screamed,” said office administrator Jenny Shallenberger. “I looked up, and there was a car in my office. I really don’t know what happened.”
