LITTLETON, Colo. (CBS4) — Three people escaped injury Saturday morning when a driver mistakenly pressed the accelerator rather than the brake pedal and propelled a car into a store.
A Littleton Police Department spokesman, Trent Cooper, said the 79-year-old female driver was shaken up but unhurt by the experience.

He said two people inside the store saw the car coming toward them and managed to get out of its way.
Quite a lot has been going on:
Dorchester Art Project adds 6,000 square feet of storefront and studio space - The Boston Globe
Dorchester Art Project announced Thursday it had effectively doubled its space after receiving permission to overtake the first floor of its current building.
That gives the gallery and flexible arts organization an additional 6,000 square feet to use for musical performances, community events, photo and video shoots, and artist studios. The expanded Dorchester Ave. spot opens to the public Oct. 1.
"We are happy to announce that the vacant space below us will soon become a part of DAP," the organization wrote in a Facebook post. "This year has been a wild ride so far … but with your support we have managed to continue to grow our operations. And it's not over yet!"
Finance committee to present year-round grant proposal to Assembly - The Skagway News.
The Finance Committee is working on a draft plan that would award funds to year-round food establishments and businesses with storefronts who commit to stay open four to five days per week this winter.
"The purpose of the grant is to maintain the year-round business community for Skagway, providing services to residents in hopes of keeping them both mentally and physically healthy during the long winter months in Skagway, Alaska," the draft states.
Sausalito council inches toward allowing retail cannabis
While still in early discussions, Sausalito could be the first municipality in Southern Marin where people can walk into a dispensary and buy cannabis.
The City Council has created a committee to discuss a potential ordinance or resolution to allow storefront cannabis retail. The group includes Councilman Joe Burns, Councilwoman Joan Cox, City Attorney Mary Wagner and Community Development Director Lilly Whalen.
The committee will consider different types of proposals, possible locations, license limitations and the application process. The council is leaning toward establishing a development agreement.

'OPEN' Light Art Installation Enlivens East Village Storefronts | Bowery Boogie
While the city slowly reopens, we continue searching for signs of creativity returning to the neighborhood. It turns out we're not the only ones who wanted to see something uplifting on our streets.

"OPEN," a series of temporary light art installations, will be occupying eight storefronts in the East Village starting tomorrow. Visitors are invited to discover the neighborhood in a whole new way, with a mapped-out night walk. Others might serendipitously stumble upon some of the sites, where they can scan a QR code on a storefront to find out more.
Storefront art project places stunning McLeods at Gallery 263, an appropriate window for a visit
Since it's hard to go see art in a gallery, go see it at a gallery. In the window of Gallery 263 in Cambridgeport (which aims for a Sept. 17 reopening) are two works by Marla McLeod – stunning portraits of black women done in oil on canvas that must be seen in person to be appreciated.
The point of the portraits, which in other venues are paired with quilts and other textiles, is to engage in art in which "black women have largely been excluded as makers and in which they are even more infrequently found as subjects," McLeod says. "The large-scale realistic paintings deny the expectations of submission, anonymity, and invisibility typically associated with this group of women.
Our view: What has to happen at the state level to ensure "Never again'?
The Danish Brotherhood Lodge at 2206 63rd St. burns reportedly the result of rioters shortly before 11 p.m. Monday night.
Last week, at a hastily scheduled Kenosha County Board committee of the whole meeting, a couple of supervisors said what Kenoshans wanted to hear.
"To the people who burned down our city, we won't allow it ever again," said supervisor Zach Rodriguez.
At the same meeting, National Guard Major Gen. Paul Knapp said as many as 2,000 Guard troops were here to assist law enforcement.
Column: Voting for Trump chooses civilization over civil unrest
In the last few months of a presidential election cycle, Florida voters are bombarded with ads from both political parties filled with lofty promises about what heights America will reach if you just choose them.
While promises and platforms sound nice, the smarter way to determine which direction is better for America's future is to look at the world around us.
On a recent campaign stop, the president said if voters want to know what America would look like under a Joe Biden administration, all they had to do was look at Democratic-run cities and states.
