A vehicle crashed into a bike shop causing significant damage Tuesday night in Lompoc.

At approximately 8 p.m. Tuesday, personnel from the Lompoc police and fire departments were dispatched to the 200 block of West Ocean Avenue.

Crews arrived to find that a vehicle had slammed into the building, causing extensive structural damage, Lompoc Battalion Chief Brian Federmann said. 

The vehicle ended up entirely inside the building with the driver requiring extrication.

The 39-year-old woman driver may have had a medical event that caused the crash, police Chief Pat Walsh said Wednesday.

Personnel trained in urban search and rescue re-inforced the structure to provide stability and prevent further collapse, Federmann added.

The building, which housed Bicycle Connection, will be unihabitable until repairs occur. 

A city of Lompoc notice on the front of the building advises people can only enter through the back door and prohibited public access. Another notice asked that packages be delivered to an nearby business.

No further details were available.
