A man is charged with careless driving after a car hit an east-end school.

It happened around 2:55 a.m. on June 11, when a car was speeding north on Woodward Avenue.

The driver lost control just north of Rennie Avenue, police say. The car went through a fence, hit the Woodward Junior Public School flag pole, went through a second fence and flipped into the air.

It hit the side of Woodward school, flipped onto its roof and stopped at the front doors.

The driver and passenger climbed out of the vehicle and were treated at hospital for minor injuries. There was minor damage to the outside of the school.
