Saskatoon driver crashes into downtown building WATCH: Minor injuries after vehicle crashes into a Saskatoon building

Saskatoon police say a driver suffered what appear to be minor injuries after crashing into a building downtown on Tuesday.

Reports came in around 2:30 p.m. that a vehicle struck a building at 214 25th Street East, according to a police news release. Firefighters were called to the scene shortly after.

Officers put traffic restrictions in place along 25th Street as emergency crews attended the scene, where a vehicle had collided with the balcony in front of an apartment building.

Police said their initial information suggested the injuries were minor.

The Saskatoon Fire Department says a man was treated by their paramedics before being transferred to an ambulance.

The vehicle was towed away and firefighters made sure the building was stable.

A construction crew was renovating inside the apartment and will be conducting immediate repairs to the balcony, the fire department says.
