The spokesperson said the woman who was driving the car said she and her husband were leaving the complex when she had an issue with the accelerator, which caused her to drive down a road in the complex at a high rate of speed and crash into the building.
According to the spokesperson, the woman and man were both taken to the hospital with minor injuries.
The spokesperson said the people who live in the damaged unit and the one above it will have to be temporarily relocated.
