Jeep Crashes Through Front Doors of a 7-11

A 2011 Jeep Cherokee Laredo ran through the front doors of the 7-11 convenience store at 4311 Southwest Blvd., across the street from the McDonald’s, at 3: 30 p.m. Friday afternoon.

According to police at the scene, the cause was a simple mistake. The driver confused the accelerator with the brake pedal. Police said that no citations were written. The crash happened on private property.

Damage to the double glass doors of the main entrance to the 7-11 was extensive; there were no doors left after the crash. Shattered glass was on the floor and ground inside and outside the doors.

The 7-11 will be closed, police said, until repairs are made.

The driver was not injured and no one at the scene was injured. The driver of the Jeep was able to back the Jeep out of the doorway.
