MARGATE, Fla. ā€“ An elderly woman accidentally drove her vehicle into a storefront Thursday morning in Margate, authorities confirmed.

Sky 10 was above the scene just before 11:15 a.m. as the white car was being towed out of the store.

ā€œI was just working in our design center, we sell kitchens and bathrooms, so I was doing an estimate, and out of nowhere it sounded like a bomb exploded,ā€ Lema said. ā€œLike even our neighbor told me, heā€™s like, ā€˜Our counter shook from how strong the impact was.ā€™ā€

Margate police said no other vehicles were involved in the crash and no injuries were reported.

ā€œSheā€™s fine, sheā€™s healthy, nothing happened to her, they took her home,ā€ Lema said of the woman driving the white car. ā€œLuckily nothing happened to anyone, I was the only one in the show room and I was in the back, but Iā€™m just glad everyoneā€™s okay this is just all material things.ā€

Itā€™s unclear whether the driver will be cited.
