JOHNSTOWN, Pa. (AP) —

Officials said five people were injured when a sport utility vehicle driven by an elderly woman crashed through the front of a Johnstown store Thursday afternoon.

According to police, the 78-year-old driver got hung up on a curb and apparently hit the accelerator when trying to brake when she went through the front of a dollar store in Richland Township.

The car traveled about 15 feet into the building, scattering merchandise and customers.

Richland Township police Sgt. John Herdman said five people sustained injuries ranging from minor to severe. The driver wasn't hurt.

Authorities did not immediately release details on the injured.
