"Two people sitting inside were taken to the hospital," said Centerville police Sgt. Bill Osmanski. "They're still being evaluated on injuries," however, he said none appeared to be life-threatening.
Witnesses said it appears the driver mistakenly hit the gas pedal instead of the brake.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation, Osmanski said.
FIRST REPORT
At least two people were injured when an SUV crashed through a storefront this evening at the Cross Pointe Shopping Center.
Crews were called around 6 p.m. to My Favorite Muffin at 175 E. Alex-Bell Road.
Selam Melaku, an employee at Subway, said a BMW SUV appears to be hanging in the front window of a store in the complex. There are fire trucks and police, and two ambulances were seen leaving with lights and sirens blaring, he said.
There are reports of at least two injuries, including to someone who was inside the store at the time of the accident.
We are on the way and will update this report as we learn details.
