Car Crashes Through Convenience Store Window

Nobody was hurt when a car smashed through the front window of a North Street convenience store on Tuesday morning.

It happened at about 11 a.m. at the Salem 7 store at 128 North St. The driver of a gray Infiniti sedan from Swampscott told police she didn’t know what happened. She pulled in to the store to park and her foot was not on the gas or the brake at the time of the crash, she told police.

The car went up and over the curb and through the window, knocking over a display holding water and sunglasses in the store and crashing it, according to police.

The 60-year-old driver was out of her car when police arrived and said she was not injured. Nobody in the store was injure, police said, and the building inspector was called. A total of four panes of glass were smashed and the car was towed away. Later, the front of the store was boarded up.

The driver was issued a ticket for failure to use car in stopping and paperwork was filed with the state Registry of Motor Vehicles to have the driver deemed an immediate threat and have her license suspended.
