The vehicle involved, a navy VW T-Cross, was found on its roof after plunging from the third storey of the building.
The driver was trapped inside the car, and it is believed that he experienced medical complications just as he was about to exit the parkade. Video footage from the parkade shows the SUV narrowly missing other parked cars before crashing into the wall.
A concerned neighbour was the first to arrive on the scene, followed by emotional family members. The man’s nephew declined to comment, only confirming his uncle’s age. Paramedics treated a family member who was overcome with emotion.
The atmosphere was tense, and a security guard described the situation as pandemonium, noting that entrances to the mall were blocked to safeguard patrons.
Authorities are currently investigating the incident. A shopping centre manager stated that they are cooperating fully and will provide more information as it becomes available. Witnesses, including a construction worker on Vause Road, spoke of a deafening sound at the time of the crash, underscoring the severity of the accident.
