77-Year-Old Woman Crashes Car into Walgreens in Cornish, Maine

Car Driven into Walgreens

It’s a good thing no one was hurt after a 77-year-old woman drove her car into a Walgreens in Cornish, Maine Thursday.

Vehicle was in Reverse Instead of Drive

The York County Sheriff’s Office said Donna Letellier from Limerick had been shopping in the store. When she finished, she got in her Subaru to drive away. “Instead of placing her vehicle into "reverse” she placed it into "drive" and accelerated through the side of the wall and into the store,” said the Sheriff’s Office.

The woman was alright and not injured. There were no injuries in the Walgreens or pharmacy, according to the Bangor Daily News.

Good Thing No One was Inured

It's a relief that there was nobody in the Walgreens that was hurt. Thankfully the driver made it out too. It must have been scary for everyone involved.
