Old Lady Driving - Could Get Hairy


Woman, 82, crashes into salon, gets her hair done
AOL News

PLAINFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. - An 82-year-old woman who accidentally crashed her car through the front window of a southwest Michigan salon stuck around afterward for an appointment to get her hair done.

Authorities said Marion Zock was parking her Ford Fusion on Thursday outside Classic Hair Design in Kent County's Plainfield Township, near Grand Rapids, when she stepped on the accelerator instead of the brake.

Two people were injured, including an employee who returned to work after treatment and a girl with a bruised arm.

Zock told WOOD-TV her foot slipped from the brake. She's a regular customer and says she was "so embarrassed."

Stylist Kristi Dochod told WWMT-TV the crash sounded like an explosion. The salon stayed open as the car was removed, and is open during repairs.

You've got to admire business that would shake off a Buick through the front window as no big deal. Of course in a town as small as Plainfield Township if you lose one loyal customer you could go belly up. I just love how the lady stuck around to get her hair done. Sure she's embarrassed but she's got to go to the rummage sale at the Church of Christ on Friday and she'll be damned if her her ain't did. This story did make me want to find a sweet video of a car wrecking through a window. The one below is the best I could find.
