A 73-year-old nun backing out of a handicapped parking spot plowed her sedan through the front doors of a Stater Bros. supermarket in Orange on Tuesday, police said, crushing a customer's foot and injuring a worker.

It was the second time this year that a vehicle has crashed into the store.

Authorities said the driver was disoriented after Tuesday's crash, in which her car looped backward from its parking place near one set of glass doors into the other entrance and came to rest 10 feet inside the store.

"She's not aware of what happened," said Orange Police Sgt. Dave Hill.

The nun, whose name was not released, is a member of Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange, said Sister Mary Bernadette, a spokeswoman for the order.

She crashed through the same set of doors that another elderly driver ran through Jan. 6.

In that incident, retired engineer Elmer C. Anderson, 69, mistakenly hit the accelerator instead of the brake and overshot a handicapped parking space. A woman was pinned under his Ford Explorer for 30 minutes and suffered injuries to her head and torso. Four other people suffered cuts and were treated at the scene. Anderson was not cited, but police asked the Department of Motor Vehicles to review his license.

1. No farmer's market, there, huh?

You have to improvise, I guess.


Hey, if you're mistaking the accelerator for the brake YOU SHOULDN'T BE FUCKING DRIVING!!!!!
