Driver crashes into gas station, merchandise strewn

A 70-year-old driver crashed into the plate glass window of a gas station Thursday morning when the driver was attempting to park a Chevy Malibu and by accident stepped on the gas instead of the brake.

The driver, a Massillon woman, was not injured when she drove into the front of the BP station on Lincoln Way E at 27th Street at 11:41 a.m., said Sgt. J.J. DiLoreto, public information officer for the police department.

Her vehicle front end landed inside the gas station and caused a broad mess spilling soda, wine and other items inside the store.

Broken glass was strewn inside and outside the building. The car struck a soda display of two-liter bottles spilling pop in all places. A wine display also was hit, breaking the bottles and splashing wine inside the store.

Several racks of toiletry items and gas cans were knocked over as well as a cold drink machine. Massillon police respond and Patriot Towing service was called to remove the vehicle.
