SAN DIMAS — A man crashed a car into a convenience store early Sunday, resulting in a large mess but no injuries, officials said.
The crash took place just after 1:35 a.m. at 7-Eleven, 660 E. Foothill Blvd., Los Angeles County sheriff’s Sgt. Victor Ibarra said.
A 50-year-old San Dimas man was trying to park his 1990 Honda Accord when his foot slipped off the brake and onto the gas pedal, the sergeant said.
The vehicle collided with the store and smashed the front window, however the structure of the building was not compromised, according to sheriff’s and Los Angeles County Fire Department officials.
Driving under the influence was not suspected, Ibarra added.
No one was hurt in the early-morning crash, the sergeant said, adding that the clerk was in a back stockroom at the time.
The store was open for business Sunday afternoon as workers made repairs.
