Teacher injured when pickup truck plows through donut shop
A high school teacher was injured when a pickup truck crashed into a Grand Prairie donut shop.
The driver of the pickup, a 78-year-old man and a regular customer at the shop, mistakenly hit the gas instead of the brake. His vehicle then smashed through the shop.
Three teachers from Crosswinds High School were dining in the donut shop at the time of the accident. Two of the teachers were able to get out of the way of the truck, but the third was hit and taken to Arlington Memorial Hospital, possibly with a broken hip.
The driver of the pickup truck was uninjured. Police say they do not expect to bring any charges against him.
The owner of the building, Michael Zimmerman, estimates that the accident resulted in at least $5,000 worth of damage to the shop.
