The Clarinda Police Department today (Thursday) released information about an accident in Clarinda last Saturday afternoon, that caused a total of $18,000 damage. Police Chief Keith Brothers says a car driven by 87-year old Cleva Jobe, of New Market, was pulling into a parking stall in front of the Weil’s Clothing Store, when she mistakenly stepped on the accelerator pedal instead of the brake.

Her 2009 Pontiac Vibe drove over the curb and hit a concrete decorative flower pot before hitting the front of the store, and breaking the glass window. The vehicle then became high-centered on the window ledge. Employees of the store had to tell Jobe to take her foot off the gas pedal. The accident happened at around 12:06-p.m., Saturday.

No injuries were reported. The car sustained $3,000 damage, while damage to the store was estimated at $15,000. No citations were issued.
