And, no injuries were reported following an accident August 3rd at 2102 23rd Street, in Harlan. Authorities say a 2001 Ford Focus driven by Mariah Karnes, of Harlan, was pulling into a parking stall, and mistakenly pushed the accelerator instead of the brake. The car hit the south side of the building, causing the wall to collapse into the building. The wall entered the building, striking a restroom and rupturing the plumbing inside the room. The water escaped the room and flooded the entire entrance.
