86-year-old Woman Drives Car Through Bike Shop, Three Suffer Minor Injuries

Posted on Sep 29, 2011

Two people narrowly missed being killed, and three people were injured after an 86-year-old woman accidentally drove her car through the glass window of a store in Orange County, according to the Washington Post.

The elderly woman was parked in a handicapped spot in front of the store when she pressed the gas pedal all the way to the floor, thinking that it was the brake pedal.

The car proceeded 100 feet through the store and into the adjacent studio.

The woman still had her foot on the gas when store employees reached her.
