BREAKING: Elderly Driver Crashes into Neighbor's Front Door

LIVERMORE, CA- A driver crashed into a home in Livermore this morning, damaging the front door but injuring no one, Livermore Police officials said. The 85-year-old mistook the gas and brake pedals on a sedan and plowed into her neighbor’s house on Lexington Way, according to Livermore Police Officer Traci Rebiejo.

“The driver was trying to back out of her driveway when she hit the gas pedal causing her to back up her neighbor’s driveway and into the front door,” Rebiejo said.

According to Rebiejo, no one was home at the time of the collision and the driver was not injured. Rebiejo said a city inspector was called to the scene and firefighters worked to help shore up the overhang above the door.

On Nov. 4, a 44-year-old man said he accidentally hit the gas pedal when he crashed into a Hercules restaurant, according to police. About a week later, a driver plowed into the front window of a Goodwill store in Dublin.

In October, a 70-year-old driver was trapped inside her car after crashing into a vacant building in a San Ramon shopping center and another driver was injured after her car crashed into Primary Eyecare Optometrics in Castro Valley.

In Livermore, an 80-year-old woman mistook the gas pedal for the brake accelerated into a gym hitting an exercise classroom, fatally injuring Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory executive Kathy Baker and injuring five others.
