Two drivers in two days may have mistaken the gas pedal for the brake, this time sending a vehicle up and over the curb and taking out a the front pillar of Excel Jewellers on Tuesday.
A woman in her 70s told 91原创 RCMP she thought she was hitting the brake but kept accelerating right into the building around 11:15 a.m. in the London Drugs Willlowbrook shopping centre on 64 Avenue.
Nobody was injured in the crash, including the driver. Police don't suspect impairment. The front pillar has extension damage.
On Monday, a man in his 80s also may have mistook the gas pedal for the brake, this time plowing his SUV through the front windows of Nature's Fare bistro during the lunch hour. In that crash, two staff were seriously injured and two others suffered minor injuries. The vehicle slammed right into the lunch counter where it finally stopped. The driver wasn't hurt.
