BUFFALO, Minn. - We're guessing she didn't pass.

Police in Buffalo say a teen taking her driver's exam Wednesday afternoon crashed through a brick wall and plate glass window after inadvertently shifting into drive instead of reverse. Police Chief Pat Budke says the SUV lurched forward, over the curb and right into the exam building, which is located in a strip mall.

Damage to the building is described as significant. A license examiner in the passenger seat of the vehicle was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The 17-year-old driver and those inside the building were not hurt.

Budke says no charges will be filed in connection with the incident.
