A Ram pickup driven by a youth crashed into the side of Walmart in College Heights, which was reported to Prince George RCMP about 2:30 a.m. on April 19.

Prince George Walmart store manager Evan Raugust said the store will remain closed today as they await evaluation by a structural engineer to determine how safe the building is after being struck.

“When police officers attended they quickly located the youth driver, who was transported to the hospital by Emergency Health Services. The family of the youth was already at the location and cooperating with the police investigation,” Cpl. Jennifer Cooper, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP, said.

The driver was the sole occupant of the vehicle at the time of the crash.

No serious injuries have been reported.

The investigation remains ongoing.
