(Lawrence Police Department)
By Globe Staff
A 71-year-old woman apparently hit the gas instead of the brake when she was trying to park a sport utility vehicle in Lawrence and crashed through a wall and into a White Hen Pantry, police said. The Mitsubishi Outlander smashed through the glass doors of the convenience store, plowed through several candy and potato chip displays, and came to a stop after the entire SUV was completely inside the building.
"There were skid marks inside the store," Chief John J. Romero of the Lawrence Police Department said today in a telephone interview.
No one was hurt although several people were inside the Haverhill Street store when the crash occurred just before 10 a.m. Sunday.
The driver, Emily Bowab of Methuen, will be cited for failure to use caution while parking, Romero said.
