3 Injured After Car Crashes Into Cherry Hill Target Store: Police

CHERRY HILL, NJ — Three people were injured after a car crashed into the Target store on Route 38 in Cherry Hill Thursday morning, police said.

The accident occurred when a 76-year-old Collingswood man suffered from an unknown medical condition while driving in the parking lot, according to Cherry Hill police.

He pushed the gas instead of the brake on the 2010 Hyundai he was driving, leading it to crash through the front of the building and come to a stop, police said.

The passenger, a 58-year-old woman, suffered minor injuries in the crash, police said. An 18-year-old woman who was working in the store at the time of the crash also suffered minor injuries, police said.

All three people were taken to local hospitals and were expected to recover, police said. The car was removed from the building, and the store was closed for a short time while it was inspected. It later reopened.

“I was looking through the jeans and then an employee ran by, and he was like you got to vacate the store," one shopper told CBS 3. "He said on his walkie-talkie someone crashed into the store. I went to see what happened, and I just saw a car like in the store.”

The crash remains under investigation. No charges had been filed as of Thursday afternoon, police said.
