ATLANTA - Employees at a Buckhead-area bookstore spent Memorial Day afternoon cleaning up after a car crashed through one of its display windows.
It happened at the Barnes & Noble located at 2900 Peachtree Road NW at the intersection of Peachtree Avenue NE. The driver of a Toyota Corolla accidentally hit the gas pedal instead of the brake and ran over the handicap parking sign and into the side of the business.
Photos taken at the scene show one of the display windows pushed into the store by the impact and brickwork at the base of the window shattered.
