A car rammed into the side of Starbucks in Charlottetown, P.E.I., Sunday night.
A 20-year-old Charlottetown man thought he had put the car in park, but it was actually still in drive, said police.
When the man got out to enter the business, the car jolted forward and hit the building.
No one was hurt.
There was at least $2,000 dollars damage to the brick and window framework, police said.
They don't expect to lay charges.
