Car plows through Commerce store
By DANIEL WALKERA trip to pick up a pizza ended with a car plowing through the front of the Liberty Bonds next to Pizza Hut on Live Oak Street Wednesday night.
Loyd Field said that he was coming to pick up a pizza at about 7:40 p.m. when the accelerator stuck on his Mercury Grand Marquis. “It just wouldn’t stop,” Field said. “The tires were still spinning when the car stopped in the building. I was able to put it in reverse and back out, and then stop.”
Commerce fire chief Brian McNevin said fortunately no one was injured despite the accident occurring in a strip mall with two crowded restaurants. “The car went into a vacant business, between the two restaurants — Subway and Pizza Hut,” McNevin said. “It looks like the accelerator stuck and he couldn’t get it to stop.”
The car and the building suffered extensive damage.
After the accident, firefighters loaded Field’s groceries in their fire engine and then transported Field, his pizza, and the groceries home.
