Officers of the Lennox and Addington OPP have charged a driver with careless driving after hitting a vehicle and building.

On Jan. 2 shortly after noon, L&A OPP were called to a motor vehicle collision on Dundas Street east in Napanee. When police arrived the Napanee Fire Department was on scene. The vehicle had collided with another parked vehicle and a building. There were no injuries to the lone female driver. The driver was backing into a parking spot and accidentally hit the gas instead of the brakes. Dundas Street east was closed between John Street and Centre Street while emergency crews worked to clear the scene.

As a result of the investigation, a 87 year old female from Odessa was charged with careless driving. The road was opened back up a short time later once emergency crews cleared the scene.
