(Update Wednesday, 9 a.m.) - Kelowna RCMP have responded to yesterday's motor vehicle incident in the parking lot of Orchard Park Shopping Mall.
According to police, witnesses reported the vehicle was mobile through the mall parking lot, when its driver lost control, suddenly accelerated, and became airborne after striking cement curbing.
The driver was a woman in her 50's who is believed to have confused the brake pedal for the accelerator.
Police said the fact both parked vehicles were unoccupied when the SUV drove over them is a miracle.
The lone occupant in the SUV was uninjured.
