(Santa Rosa Beach) – At 11:00 am this morning the J Crew store located at 500 Grande Blvd had a surprise visitor. The driver of a Honda Ridgeline mistakenly hit the wrong peddle as she was pulling into a parking spot, causing the vehicle to jump the curb and crash through the side of the store.

No one inside the store at the time of the accident was injured. The South Walton Fire District (SWFD) arrived to find the vehicle lodged into the side of the store. The occupants of the store were evacuated as a precaution and the driver of the vehicle was checked for injuries and transported to Sacred Heart Hospital.

The SWFD want to remind everyone that this is a busy time of year with a higher than normal traffic volume on the roads and in parking lots. Many people are distracted by the season’s hustle and bustle and in hurry to get into the store to pick up a few things before heading home, or in the throes of holiday shopping, please exercise extra care and courtesy when out on the roads or in parking lots looking for that perfect parking space.

The SWFD would like to wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season
