3 Injured When Car Crashes Into Post Office
A car driven by a 78-year-old woman sideswiped a fence at a day-care center and crashed through the wall of a post office Thursday, injuring three people inside, officials said.
The unidentified driver was making a U-turn in the post office parking lot when she stepped on the gas pedal instead of the brake, police said.
The car crumpled part of the fence, but no children were injured. It then barreled into the post office’s personnel room, striking two employees and another man. One of the workers was taken to the hospital with moderate injuries to his legs. A female employee and the other man sustained minor cuts and bruises.
The driver was not injured. Investigators did not detain her after determining that the incident was an accident.
