One office was evacuated at the Caisse Aterna building at Bay and Slater today, after a two vehicle collision sent one car into the building.

Fire officials tell 1310News the impact from the crash, which happened around 12:20 Tuesday afternoon caused one of the walls to be pushed in about two feet.

That prompted the evacuation of the office, but the rest of the building was safe. Engineers were called in to assess the damage.

No one was injured in the crash.
