A care home in Prince Albert is working to repair $15,000 worth of damage.

Oct. 30 at 4:40 a.m. a truck hit a car, before barreling through the corner of a North View home on Southwood Drive, taking out a fence, and finally coming to a stop after hitting the neighbour's garage.

Bob Martinook, the director of specialized programs at the home, said the damage to the building hasn't disrupted work or life at the care home.

“There have been no disruptions to services, there were no injuries to clients or staff, and the home continues to operate as it did before,” said Martinook.

Kelly McLean with the Prince Albert Police Service said they've arrested a 15-year-old male, who said he borrowed his parents’ vehicle to drive people from a party.

“It would appear a combination of high speeds, icy roads, and driver inexperience were all factors in this collision,” said McLean.

The teenager has been released from custody, and is charged with dangerous driving and failing to remain at the scene of an accident.
