Many Hood County residents were left shocked Wednesday morning after witnessing the aftermath of what appeared to be a car crash involving the new CEFCO gas station on Highway 51.
“That didn’t take long,” reads a post from Laura Watson Davis on the Hood County Breaking News! Facebook page. “Someone’s already drove (sp) through the CEFCO.”
The CEFCO — which celebrated its grand opening on March 28 — has only been open for business a little over a month.
According to Granbury Police Chief Mitch Galvan, a 62-year-old female accidentally pressed the gas pedal instead of the brake pedal when she was pulling into a parking space at CEFCO. As a result, the woman drove through the glass window of the convenience store.
“No one was hurt and there was no structural damage, just damage to the window and trim,” Galvan said.
CEFCO isn't the only Hood County business that suffered damage from a car crash recently. Back in December, a car crash in Acton resulted in two businesses being damaged: Acton Donuts and Standpoint Promotions.
