A motorist pulling into a parking space at F.Z. Webb & Sons Pharmacy on South Congress Boulevard this morning (Thursday) lost control of his car and crashed through the front of the building.
84-year-old Robert Terry Little, Jr. of Smithville told Smithville Police that while pulling up to the building to park in his 2015 Toyota Camry, he accidentally accelerated rather than braking causing the car to jump the sidewalk in front of the building and crash through the brick and glass storefront.
Although neither Little nor anyone inside the pharmacy was injured, the building sustained extensive damage.
The Webb family said the business remains open.
In addition to the Smithville Police Department, the Smithville Fire Department and DeKalb EMS were also on the scene.
