Truck crashes into Longview grocery store

LONGVIEW, TX (KLTV) - Just before 10:00 this morning, a man driving a pick-up truck pulled into the Skinner's Grocery and Market parking lot at Dellwood and H. G. Mosley, in Longview.

As he was pulling up to the front doors, he mistakenly hit the accelerator, smashing through the front doors and lobby of the store.  He then, backed out of the building and hit another vehicle.

Disoriented, he hit the gas again, went back into the building, striking an ATM, before backing out again and hitting a delivery truck.

I have that problem. I haz BIG FEETS!! For some stupid reason, I'll hit the accelerator & the brake at the same time. They are too close together any more. I need to find a decent late 60s/ early 70s vehicle........

I can remember the early 70's and 60's cars. There was like 4-6 inches between the brake and gas pedals.

Yep, at least....... I don't think there's 4 " between my gas pedal & brake. With a 13 EEE foot, I have to be careful.....

Ever try to drive one of those foriegn sports cars of the 50's/60's... the ones with teaspoons for the foot controls? They sure weren't made for us big footed Americans.
