One person was critically injured when an SUV crashed into the front of a Winnipeg strip mall on Thursday morning.

Emergency crews were called to the crash at the Dominion Centre on Goulet Street just after 7:30 a.m. Police said the injured person was an adult, but provided no other details.

Shattered glass, bent metal and dislodged bricks were scattered in front of two of the stores and the SUV’s front end was crumpled against a brick divider.

The impact pushed a section of bricks into the entrance of TacoTime, bending the door frame and blowing out the glass. Other glass panels from the restaurant and neighbouring PetValu were also shattered.

Bricks littered the front sidewalk for several metres.

The circumstances of the crash are still being investigated, police said in an email.
