UPDATE: 5 people injured after car ploughed into shop on EMR, Tunapuna

Five people have been hospitalised following the accident on Friday afternoon, which saw a car suddenly plough into a clothing store on the Eastern Main Road, Tunapuna.

Shortly after 11am yesterday, a black Toyota Yaris driven by a 63-year old woman, climbed the sidewalk while attempting to turn around on main road, when she knocked down five people.

The incident took place at Farah’s Fashion. Police said the elderly woman mashed the gas pedal instead of brakes and hit a 79-year-old woman and a 15-year-old girl, dragging the woman from the sidewalk to the inside of the store and throwing the child into the store.

The driver also struck a store employee and two customers.
