An elderly woman crashed her car into the BNZ bank on Polygon Rd in the Auckland suburb of St Heliers at around 10am this morning.

After the driver had hit the bank, she reversed, hit another vehicle than drove into the bank again.

Witnesses said the front of the woman's car was badly damaged, but she was understood to have suffered only a sore knee.

The bank's glass doors were broken, while the vehicle the woman backed into had damage to its left door.
