No injuries after woman drives into bank─── 09:40 Sun, 31 Mar 2019
Standard Bank has confirmed none of their staff members or clients were injured when a woman drove into the front of one of its branches on Friday.
According to News24, the Boksburg Advertiser reported that the motorist had driven her car “a number of times” into the bank’s front entrance at the K90 Centre, causing about R100 000 in damage.
The publication spoke to a security guard, who said that the customer, who was “very, very angry” had left the bank, got into her Mercedes Benz and drove “through the windows”, knocking it repeatedly until they were “all down”.
Standard Bank spokesperson Ross Linstroom told News24 that counselling had been offered to those “impacted by this unfortunate event”. He also confirmed that the client was served in a professional manner and in line with client-service procedures.
When News24 contacted police yesterday it had no record of the incident.
