The driver of a car that struck a building in Audubon, Friday afternoon, was transported to the hospital and cited for Failure to Maintain Control. The Audubon County Sheriff’s Department reports 65-year old Ruth Elaine Young, of Audubon, was attempting to park in a diagonal parking space at around 2:20-p.m.,  when she stepped on the accelerator pedal instead of the brake.

Her 1997 Infiniti drove over  a curb and struck the side of the Community Insurance building, causing $8,000 damage to the business and $6,000 damage to the car. Young was transported to the Audubon County Hospital by Audubon Fire and Rescue.
