WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — An SUV drove through the windows of a strip mall near 29th Street North and Maize Road around 11 a.m. Friday.

The driver was trapped in the vehicle for a short time but did not suffer any serious injuries.

The strip mall is home to a HomeGrown restaurant, Horton’s Carpets, Orangetheory Fitness, Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa, and Milan Laser Hair Removal.

The Wichita Fire Department says the SUV went through a front glass wall and an interior wall. Horton’s Carpets told KSN while there are no injuries, their New Market Square location is closed while repairs are made. Customers can visit the location near Maple and Ridge until the store reopens.
