## Blamed crash on slipped foot

Speaking to reporters at the scene, the driver said he had initially parked by the roadside in front of a clinic while waiting for his wife to complete her appointment.

After waiting for more than an hour, he spotted an empty parking space in front of the store and drove over to park his car.

However, as he stepped on the brakes, his foot suddenly slipped onto the accelerator, causing the car to lurch forward and crash into the store.

## 'I was so scared'

Meanwhile, a staff named Zhang said the woman had entered the store to buy something and was standing near the entrance chatting with her when the car suddenly barreled its way into the store.

Zhang said the woman was pinned between the car and the wall and repeatedly cried out in pain, adding that she signalled for the driver to reverse the car so the woman would no longer be trapped.

> **I witnessed the entire incident and was so frightened that my legs went weak. After getting out of the car, the driver apologised for the crash.**

"Throughout my 10 years of working here, I've never seen a car crashing into the store before."
