SUV crashes into bank branch in Arlington Heights

The BMO Harris branch office at Arlington Heights and Palatine roads suffered significant damage early Tuesday when an SUV crashed into the building.

The driver, a woman about 40 years old, was not hurt, authorities said. No one was in the building at the time.

Arlington Heights police said the driver was delivering papers about 6:45 a.m. and accidentally hit the wrong pedal and drove into a large window in the building.

Police said no tickets were issued because it was an accident and the crash occurred on private property.

Senior Manager of BMO Harris Patrick O'Herlihy said the company is assessing the damage to the building.

"We're happy that no one was injured as a result of this accident," O'Herlihy said in an email. "The branch is currently closed. We're still assessing the damage, which was significant. At the moment, it's too early to say when it will be open again."
