Elderly Woman Crashes C4 Into Bread Shop
 
Read about it here: Elderly Woman Crashes C4 Into Bread Shop

I'm not sure how people forget which pedal means go, and which one means stop, but hey accidents happen. All-in-all I guess there are worse things than an engine bay full of sourdough and pumpernickel.

This is the kind of thing that leads to terrible punditry: "How was your day, dear?"
"Not bad. I thought I was on a roll but ended up just loafing."

I was up in Prescott (Az) yesterday, and an old man(70's+), was parking in a spot by the courthouse. All of a sudden the Blazer roars forward and lands on a 2' wall. The car high centered and stoped, fortunately, because there was a crafts fair on the courthouse lawn with lots of visitors. He was walking around talking to the cops, but never said what happened. After they had a couple of tow trucks pull the car back into the parking space, the old man walked away. If it wasn't for that wall, it woulld have made the national news.

Probably did that store a favor knowing this place

Railroadman 06-11-2012 02:11 PM

Maybe she should install a roll bar! :leaving:

Perhaps she was just trying to rise to the occassion.

At least we now know what her favorite flower is.

I like how she tried to down-play it when she was interviewed by the local news station...

"I was trying to park 'slowly,' I must have been pushing the gas pedal instead of the brake. I don’t know, all of a sudden I see my car 'getting' in the store.”
She saw her car "getting in the store?"
She crashed through that store front...bricks and everything.

Maybe granny couldn't drive a stick.

:yawn: I saw this story on the local news last week. I didn't think it was even worth posting here.

rocknroller 06-11-2012 07:12 PM

Never ceases to amaze me. My wife has done this.....twice.

PLRX 06-11-2012 07:28 PM

Another story to prove once you become a senior citizen DMV should do a physical test on them.

Durissus 06-11-2012 08:55 PM

Oh, the puns, the puns!:willy:

But on another note, gotta watch who you're calling "old" as I'd bet she's about the same age as many of the forum members here. :thumbs:

Bandit's C4 06-11-2012 09:18 PM

No to-go orders?

Goldcylon 06-11-2012 09:40 PM

Maybe she was short on dough and looking for an ATM?

ccrazor 06-11-2012 09:53 PM

With recent posts about the "breadbox"....:D
