PORTLAND, OR (KPTV) — A car crashed through the brick wall of a building in the Goose Hollow area Wednesday morning.
Portland Fire & Rescue said the crash happened at 1853 Southwest Jefferson at around 10:17 a.m.
FOX 12 learned a woman in her 60s to 70s was going to pick up a flower order at Goose Hollow Flowers when she pulled into a lot across the street due to no street parking.
PF&R said as the woman was parking her car, she must have mistaken the accelerator for the break pedal.
The car crashed into Esquire Motors Import Car Repair and fell through to a lower floor.
Witnesses were able to pull the woman out of the car. She had some minor injuries, and police said she was taken to a local hospital.
The car kept running which sent carbon monoxide into the building. The building was evacuated and no one else was injured.
PF&R said an engineer will respond to the scene and determine if there is structural damage before they remove the car and repair the wall.
