Driver accidentally slams into gas station store

Sunday, October 28, 2007

People at a store in Houston's south side were cleaning up a big mess after a car came crashing through it.

A car slammed into the Mobile station just off Old Spanish Trail and Highway 288 Sunday morning.

Witnesses say the driver was leaving a store next door when the accelerator got stuck. The car then crashed. The manager tried to get out of the way, but he was pushed to the back wall by the car and merchandise.

"It was so scary but I knew God was telling me that nothing was going to happen to me," said store manager Martin Okumu.

Police say it appears to be an accident. No one was seriously hurt and no charges were filed.
