My guess is that she meant to reverse out of the parking space and somehow accelerated forward instead, maybe because the car was still unfamiliar. Why she wasn't able to hit the brake before she got to the seafood counter is curious. She would have gone over the curb, onto the sidewalk, through 2 sections of glass doors and multiple produce bins so that should've been a clue she needed to hit the brakes.
My mother gunned her car into a fence a few years back. She meant to back out of a parking space, but she went forward instead. She knocked a large chunk of the fence down and drove right over it into the BMW sales lot next door. Thank God she stopped before she hit a brand new BMW.
She swears to this day that she had her foot "hard on the brake" the entire time.
Please tell us that she no longer drives anywhere, ever.
She doesn't now, but she did for several years after that. It isn't as easy as you think to take the keys away from a woman in her 70s whose husband has medical appointments every day.
Uber is so much cheaper than getting sued for all you are worth though.
