According to officials, 82-year-old Phyllis Champion attempted to park her vehicle, but accidentally hit the gas instead of the brake. Her Toyota Corolla then jumped the curb and drove through a glass window at the front of the post office, striking three customers and one employee. The driver was uninjured.
Chief Minter said there is currently no reason to believe that the cause of the accident was intentional.
