Car Careens Through Cell Phone Store
An elderly woman apparently couldn't wait to get her Palm Pre and turned a Calumet Park cell phone store into a drive-through. An elderly woman apparently couldn't wait to get her Palm Pre from a Calumet Park cell phone store. She only suffered a few scratches, but the store didn't fare so well. The woman drove her car right into the store, smashing the front windows and stopping completely inside. “It was a complete shock ... they helped her out of the car and 30 seconds later police and fire dept got all here,” employee Rich Kelly said. “The best way I can put it is when you’re watching a movie and you see a car go through a display, it’s everything’s in slow motion. You didn’t look, you just see glass shattered everywhere,” said employee Jesus Leal Jr. The store, at 12842 S. Ashland Ave., is getting ready to release the new Palm Pre tomorrow. They said they'll clean up and hope to be able to open tomorrow by 8 a.m.
