Crossville Post Office damaged by car that crashed through front windows.

Info from Crossville PD press release: On Monday February 13, at approximately 12:18 PM, a 68 year old female was attempting to park a 2003 Ford Focus station wagon in one of the front parking spaces of Crossville’s United States Post Office, at 240 Old Jamestown Highway. The driver stepped on the accelerator pedal, mistaking it for the brake pedal, sending the vehicle over the curb, across the sidewalk and front landscaping, then on into the front of the building.
