Car Jumps Curb, Hits CVS Location In Westchester

A vehicle collided with multiple cars and a CVS Pharmacy location in Westchester after its driver hit the gas pedal instead of the brakes, police said.

The crash happened on Wednesday morning, Aug. 28, when an 89-year-old woman tried to park at a CVS locale in New Rochelle at 1296 North Ave. and hit the accelerator pedal, according to New Rochelle Police Captain J. Collins Coyne.

The woman's car then hit a couple of vehicles, jumped the curb, and grazed the building, Coyne said.

No injuries or structural damage to the building were reported. However, the driver did go to a nearby hospital as a precaution.
