Auto Pulls Up to Counter

Short & Paulk Hardware, Sylvester. Ga.. got a surprise when a 7 -year-old woman hit the accelerator instead of the brakes and drove through the front door- narrowly missing a customer and an employee.

"She got out of her car and wasn't pulled up as quite far as she wanted to be, so she got back in it and never stopped," said store manager Rick Watson. "There was one lady behind the counter and a customer in front of the counter. Luckily, they both got out of the way."

No charges were filed and the car, a Hyundai Sonata, was towed away.
