An ambulance driver escaped serious injuries and appears to have escaped charges as well after crashing into a structure in Waynesboro earlier this week.

Waynesboro Police Sergeant Jamie Dunn reported officers responded Tuesday morning to Micah’s Coffee on West Broad Street and a preliminary investigation determined that the driver, 24-year-old Carley Marie Roberts of Staunton, cut the turn too close when leaving the drive-thru.

As a result, the rear left tire of the ambulance hopped onto the curb and the top of the ambulance collided with the roof of Micah’s Coffee.

The ambulance continued for another four feet resulting in the building partially coming off the foundation and rotating the building about 45 degrees.

No injuries were reported and Dunn said Roberts was not charged.
