At around 9:50 a.m. on Wednesday, August 28, RCMP and Niverville Fire and EMS responded to the scene of a vehicular accident at Negash Coffee, located along Drovers Run in Niverville.
A midsized vehicle had crashed through the front doors of the business, coming to a stop inside the building.
Witnesses on hand say the RCMP escorted at least two women from the premises following the accident.
“No injuries were reported for the 71-year-old female driver from St. Pierre-Jolys or her 35-year-old female passenger,” says RCMP Sergeant Paul Manaigre. “The use of alcohol or drugs is not suspected. There appears to be driver inexperience with the vehicle as the cause of the collision.”
This is the second similar incident at Negash in a short period of time. Last year, a different vehicle accidentally hit the café’s front window and wall. And in July of this year, fire crews were called to the café again to attend to a minor fire in the rear of the shop near their coffee roaster.
