A female drove her car into a building at 221 NE 104th Ave in Vancouver at approx. 0945 this morning. The elderly female was not injured in the crash and Vancouver Fire & American Medical Response responded to evaluate the driver and ensure the building's structural integrity was not impacted. The driver needed to be taken from the vehicle with extrication tools due to its position in relation to the building's structural members. She was evaluated on scene and refused treatment and transport. The building sustained moderate damage and was turned over to the owner of the complex.
