Chain-reaction accident in Atlantic Thursday morning
February 27th, 2020 by Ric Hanson
No one was injured during what could best be described as a chain reaction accident this (Thursday) morning, in Atlantic. The accident in front of the Heritage House at 1200 Brookridge Circle, was reported at around 8:54-a.m. Atlantic Police Officer Caleb Smith said the incident began when the female driver of a blue, Buick LeSabre attempted to park in a Handicap spot in front of the Heritage House.
(Smith said the woman told Police that when she went to push on the brake, she thought her brakes went out. An investigation however, determined she apparently hit the accelerator instead. Her car went forward in between the building and some signs. When the woman tried to come back on the road, her car struck a handicapped sign and two legally parked vehicles before coming to rest.)
