Sudden acceleration update!
Vehicle smashes into grocery store, killing shopper (KTRK-13 news)
A woman is struck and killed while shopping, when a vehicle slammed in the Kroger grocery store.
The accident happened at the store on Highway 6 in Missouri City shortly before 2pm. According to police, a woman who was driving through the parking lot lost control of her car, slamming into the front entrance of the store. She reportedly says the brakes failed.
One woman inside the store was injured. She was taken a nearby hospital, where she died. The victim's name has not been released.
The driver has not been charged. A police investigation is underway. A store surveillance camera reportedly captured the scene, but does not provide a great deal of detail.
Hmm, here's a thought -- the driver mistakenly hit the gas intead of the brake?
This driver was smarter than some, though. Never admit anything. Just claim Sudden Acceleration Syndrome.
