The driver of an Infiniti sedan unexpectedly crashed through the window of Red Wing Shoes Tuesday afternoon.
Police said the driver and witnesses said the car “took off” on the elderly driver.
“The occupants of the vehicle said they recently received a recall letter on the vehicle, so we suspect it’s a vehicle defect that caused this,” said Const. Lise Marion.
“We’re just very fortunate it was just a building that he hit.”
An employee of Red Wing Shoes said no one was near that part of the store at the time.
The occupants of the vehicle were uninjured in the incident.
