Sheriff’s officials in Pottawattamie County say the Post Office in Neola sustained $10,000 damage Thursday, when an elderly woman attempting to park her vehicle stepped on the gas pedal by mistake, instead of the brake.  87-year-old Shirley Kenealy, of Neola, was not seriously hurt when her vehicle jumped over the curb and hit the corner of the building.

She was treated at the scene for complaints of pain, but did not request transport to the hospital. Damage to her vehicle was estimated at $5,000.
