Car smashes into side of dance studio
A mother with her toddler in her arms has been hit by an out-of-control car that slammed into a dance studio in Wollongong.
A number of young children were in the Wollongong studio for a mothers' morning group on Tuesday when an 82-year-old driver ploughed his Toyota Camry through it.
Emergency crews were called to the Dancespace383 studio on Glebe Street just after 11am, police said.
The male driver reportedly smashed into the front glass wall before the car became wedged in the back brick wall of the studio.
