A car has driven through a superette in Papamoa's Fashion Island this afternoon.
Sergeant Wayne Hunter said a man was parking his car outside when, for some reason, he has put his foot on the accelerator and the car has gone straight through the building.
The male driver and the woman in the passenger seat appeared to be okay but the woman working in the shop behind the counter had been taken to hospital with a leg injury, he said.
A reporter at the scene said, "the car has gone right through the front entrance... It's right inside the shop".
Fire northern communications shift manager Dallas Ramsay said fire fighters, police and ambulance were on the scene at Fashion Island.
