BAKERY.JPGA car crashed into a bakery in an unincorporated county area near Azusa Sunday, startling an employee inside but causing no injuries.
The crash occurred about 1:15 p.m. at Leo's Bakery on Clydebank Avenue, just north of Arrow Highway, California Highway Patrol officials said.
A Las Vegas woman in her 30s was trying to park a Nissan Sentra in front of the business when the car lurched forward and smashed through the front window of the bakery, CHP Officer Adam Christopher said. She and four children inside the Sentra were not hurt.
Bakery employee Adrian Vargas, 25, said the crash left her shaken up but uninjured.
"I saw the window coming toward me and I ran to the back," she said through a Spanish interpreter.
Christopher said there was no indication of anything criminal and the crash was being investigated as an accident.
The driver of the Sentra declined to comment.
Leo's Bakery owner Leopoldo Lopez said he thankful no one was hurt in the crash, and he hopes to make repairs and reopen for business in about a week.
The structure of the bakery remained sound and attached businesses were not affected, Los Angeles County Fire Department officials said.
