Man taken to Wagga Base Hospital after car smashes into front of Silly Solly's

Emergency services including paramedics, firefighters and police were called to Berry Street shortly before noon on Wednesday following reports a car had smashed into the front entryway of discount store Silly Solly's.

It is understood the vehicle left the road and hit a car parked on the kerb before mounting the footpath and slamming into a brick pillar near the store's front door.

NSW Ambulance Wagga duty operations manager Eamonn Purcell said paramedic crews, including two intensive care units, responded to the incident.
