Two people were hurt Friday morning when a car hit a pedestrian outside Listowel Memorial Hospital – as well as the hospital building.
Perth County OPP say the collision occurred around 11 a.m.
According to authorities at the scene, the car drove into the front doors and then started to back out, hitting the pedestrian and a light standard in the process.
The 83-year-old driver and 82-year-old pedestrian were both taken to hospital to be treated for minor injuries.
Hospital officials say the front doors of the hospital were damaged, and will likely remain out of commission until sometime next week. In the meantime, the ambulance entrance is being used as a temporary main entrance.
Police are investigating the collision.
