A driver of a Porsche Cayenne had a bit of difficulty getting out of their stall in front of a Kelowna business early Wednesday.
Just before 5 am, the vehicle moved from its resting spot in front of the business in the 1900 block of Enterprise Way and crashed into the front of Code Ninjas, a coding center for children, said Les Bellamy, who works in a neighboring building.
Kelowna RCMP later confirmed that they were investigating the incident, and that charges may be pending against the driver.

Police said when officers arrived on scene, the driver had left the scene and couldn’t be immediately located.
However, police said investigators identified the driver as a 40-year-old man from Kelowna.
At around 4:30 am Wednesday, the vehicle moved from its resting spot in front of the business on Enterprise Way and crashed into the front of Code Ninjas, a coding center for children.

Police also added that two men were struck by the vehicle and sustained minor injuries.
“The victims have been uncooperative in this investigation and it appears to have been an isolated incident with no risk to public safety,” said Cpl. Tammy Lobb.
“There was extensive damage done to the business and we are grateful no bystanders were injured.”

Code Ninjas has only been in the building for the last couple of months, and, according to its website, classes will be canceled due to “unforeseen circumstances.”
