Drayton Valley doctor injured after truck slams through his clinic
A Drayton Valley doctor is recovering after a patient at his practice accidentally drove his pickup through the clinic’s wall.
Dr. Ryan White was between patients and sitting at his desk in an exam room at Shale Medical Clinic around 9:40 a.m. Monday when the truck smashed into the front of the building.
White was struck and suffered internal injuries, and will be discharged from the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Edmonton later today.
The truck was pulling into the parking lot when it accelerated, his colleague Dr. Lealet van Staden said.
