One person was injured earlier today when a passenger vehicle driven by an unlicensed driver swerved off the roadway near Independence Avenue and Woodland, striking a pedestrian light pole on the sidewalk.
According to witness reports, the driver then panicked hitting the gas and careening into the store, striking the front sales counter.
The clerk suffered a broken leg in the accident and was transported to an area hospital. Another man was pinned by the car up against a counter. The man allegedly took two beers from the cooler, refused medical treatment at the scene and walked eastbound on the Avenue.
