10.15.05 Woman Crashes Through Peninsula Dog
Salon
(BCN) A woman
drove her car into a business in unincorporated
San Mateo County this morning, but luckily no
one was injured, Menlo Park and Atherton Fire
Division Chief Richard Auger said.
The woman crashed her silver Jaguar through the
front of Corrine's and Mimi's Dog Grooming
Salon, located at 55 Fifth Avenue near the
Redwood City-Atherton border, after her foot
stuck to the gas pedal, Auger said. |

Mimi Combel, one of the
store's owners, was grooming a Cairn Terrier in the back
of the store around 11 a.m. when she heard a crash.
"Then I turned and saw a Jaguar blowing through the
French doors (of the store)," she said.
The Jaguar pushed the whole storefront into the back
grooming area, shattering glass and demolishing a wall
in its path. The car stopped about 3 inches from Combel,
pinning her between a wall and the dogs.
"It was amazing that no dogs were hurt," said Combel,
who hopes to re-open for business by Thursday.
Also in the shop were Combel's three dogs, her husband
and an employee.
The driver, who is about 80 years old, was taken to a
local hospital for a checkup.
A California Highway Patrol officer was able to get into
the car and drive it out of the building, which
sustained an estimated $20,000 in damage, Auger said. |
