PARIS, Maine — What started as a simple Thursday morning for Paris police Chief David Verrier and three of his colleagues quickly took a turn for the unusual.
Verrier and his fellow officers were enjoying a cup of coffee at Burger King when they witnessed a vehicle crash into the entrance of a nearby Dunkin’ Donuts, the chief told the Bangor Daily News.
The driver, Maria Whitney, 56, of Norway, attempted to apply her brakes when she pulled into a parking spot but accidentally hit the gas, causing her Ford to crash into the front door of the establishment.
Whitney was not injured in the crash, but her vehicle suffered $2,500 in damage, while the building will need $25,000 in repairs, according to Verrier.
“The whole entrance needs to be redone,” he said.
This is the 2nd Dunkin’ Donuts related crash this week.. Guess people desperately need their coffee!
Actually I believe there have been three recently, Has Dunkin Donuts p’d off some group?
This dear lady just confused drive-in with drive-thru…..
Appears to be one of those “oh shoot” moments.
New slogan: “American Runs Into Dunkin”
Ha-ha!
Moments before she accelerated into the storefront, she had just found out that question 1 passed.
“Boston Best” Donut Shop coffee sold at Ocean state lot and Wallyworld is better than Dunkin Donut coffee. About $4 a pound too
Vote NO on stupid drivers
Also, does that say ‘JAN’ and a ’12’ on the plate? Looks like she’s 10 months late on her registration.
Unless she applied the year sticker in another corner of her plate as some drivers are prone to do(can’t read instructions printed on the tags).
If you can’t tell your brakes from or gas…. haha.. you probably shouldn’t be on the road
Yes I agree…there are a lot of drivers on the road that shouldn’t be….
Why aren’t those officers at the Dunkin’ Donut shop? Afraid to be stereotyped?
I wonder if this is the same Whitney who ran for the State Senate 13 seat in the party of the democrat?
Opps, can’t be she has a no on changing marriage bumper sticker and a CHRISTian fish, no chance she is a member of the party of the democrat.
Maybe she was excited about getting one of those ‘Free WI-FI’s’ advertised on the door.
Posting here first so that I can see how far down I need to read before finding someone who loves to point out that cops were in a donut shop … ooops, Burger King! Oh, well … snow day!
Text message perhaps?
Maybe she thought “teh gays” were in there.
What part of decaff didnt you understand???????
