The driver of the parked truck, who was hit while he was leaving his truck to enter the store at the time, sustained injuries.
Paramedics took him to hospital, where he remains today.
Both vehicles, as well as the corner store’s sign, were damaged. There is some damage to the truck and the car is totaled.
There were no other injuries.
