The 2018 Q5 hit the Godwin Avenue building in the wrong spot -- a corner by the automatic doors -- causing apparent structural damage around 1:45 p.m. March 28.

The elderly female driver was taken to The Valley Hospital in Ridgewood with unspecified injuries as various items stacked to the roof tumbled out a door of the vehicle.

No one could initially say why the apparent hoarder situation existed.

No other injuries were reported.

Village police and firefighters were joined by Anthony Merlino, Ridgewood's chief construction code official.
