LETHBRIDGE, AB – Lethbridge Police are reminding those with learner’s licenses, they must have someone over the age of 18, and who does not have a Graduated Driver’s License with them, at all times when they are operating a motor vehicle.

That was not the case around 11:30 on Tuesday (July 30) morning. Lethbridge Police tell LNN a 40-year-old woman with a Class 7 license lost control of her vehicle, drove off 6 Ave. S., and into the Haig Medical Clinic.

A passerby snapped a photo of the incident.

Police say there were no injuries, drugs and/or alcohol were not factors in the incident, and there did not appear to be significant damage to the medical centre.

The woman, however, was issued two tickets; one for being a learner driver without proper supervision, and the other for driving a motor vehicle into or across or on a boulevard/ditch, or other physical barrier, on a highway divided by a physical barrier.
