A scary situation for people shopping at a local Dollar General when a car crashed into the front door and shattered the glass.
Employee Sara Seskey was taken off guard.
“I watched it happen,” she exclaimed. “I thought it was just someone pulling too close to the store like they do sometimes, but I realized no one was in it and it just went right into the front of the store.”
The crash happened at the store on 31st Street in Altoona around 5 p.m. Saturday night. Seskey told us she was working by the register when all of a sudden the chaos broke out.
“I was standing by the counter and I just kind of backed away for a second with my hands over my mouth because I didn’t know what was happening,” Seskey explained.
She said she was shocked to learn the person who drives the car was inside the store when it happened.
Police said apparently the car malfunctioned.
“A customer came into the store and about 30 seconds later he said his car came out of gear and just rolled right into the front of the store,” she told us.
The store shut down for the remainder of the day. Luckily no one was hurt.
