The older-model Hyundai continued through a handicapped parking space, mounted a small curb and hit the façade of the Old Tappan Road building between two columns at the entrance.
There was no immediate word on the condition of the driver, who responders said was hospitalized.
The building didn’t appear structurally compromised. The SUV, which sustained substantial damage, had to be towed.
The two-story mini strip mall contains an insurance firm, an investment company, a pizza restaurant, a Chabad teaching center, an acupuncturist and a chiropractor, among other businesses.
Police, firefighters and EMS responded.
