A driver apparently swerved to miss another car and instead drove into a downtown Medford tuxedo shop this morning.

Traffic is slow at the intersection of Central Avenue and Main Street as a tow truck removes the Chevy Impala from Tuxedo Junction, which sits at the southwest corner of the intersection.

No one appeared to be seriously hurt in the accident.

It occurred, according to witnesses, around 9:30 a.m. when a car headed south on Central went through the intersection as the light was changing.

The Impala, headed west on Main Street, swerved to miss the other car and crashed through the window of the tuxedo shop, which was closed at the time.

Traffic on Main Street was disrupted as a tow truck arrived to remove the car. It was slow on Central as people watched what was happening.
