As reported by The Press online, two cars crashed on Tuesday night at 8.45pm in Leeman Road near Garfield Terrace.
The cars involved were an Audi and a Mini Cooper – with the Audi crashing into the side of the N-Joy Supermarket, on the corner of Garfield Terrace and Kingsland Terrace.
Emergency services were on the scene after the crash.
A spokesperson for North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said: "Four casualties were out (of the vehicles) on the arrival of crews, two of whom were taken to hospital via road ambulance.
"Crews carried out scene safety, isolated the vehicle batteries and used drizzit pads for a fuel leak."
They added that a building inspector had been out and declared that the shop building was safe.
A spokesperson for North Yorkshire Police said on Wednesday that no arrests had been made and the injuries were not believed to be life-threatening or life-changing.
The N-Joy supermarket was closed on Wednesday, and the cars no longer on the scene.
Wooden boards covered the damaged bricks caused by the Audi crashing into the side of the shop.

“I was very shocked,” he said.
Mr Raj said he could see that both cars had been badly damaged.
