GALT, CA – A routine day at a CVS Pharmacy in Northern California was violently disrupted when an 81-year-old driver mistakenly accelerated their Jeep Cherokee while parking, causing the vehicle to jump the curb.

According to initial reports, the Jeep struck a pedestrian on the sidewalk before crashing into the front of the building, shattering the store’s large glass windows.

Emergency services, including police and paramedics, responded swiftly to the scene. Both the elderly driver and the injured pedestrian received immediate medical attention for their injuries. The incident, which is detailed in a Yahoo News report, serves as a serious reminder of how quickly a life-altering accident can occur in seemingly safe, everyday locations. Investigations into the specific circumstances of the crash are ongoing.
