Elderly Woman Crashes Car Into Plainville Laundromat, Injures Employee

PLAINVILLE (CBS) -- Plainville police say an elderly woman crashed her car into the front of a laundromat Saturday morning. A worker at the front desk was hit and suffered minor injuries.

Police said an 85-year-old woman accelerated instead of braking as she pulled into a parking space at Bubble King laundromat, causing her car to jump the curb and crash through the front window.

The employee behind the counter was hit and was taken to a hospital with minor injuries. The driver was not injured.
