Driver Forgets to Put Car in Park, Damages Binny's

There were no injuries in the crash, which damaged an exterior wall of the liquor store, a fire official said.

 

A Plainfield driver who may have forgotten to put his SUV into park did about $5,000 in damage to Binny's Beverage Depot Friday morning, Plainfield Deputy Fire Chief Jon Stratton said.

The accident occurred shortly before 11 a.m. when the driver's Nissan Murano clipped one side of the building at 12307 S. Route 59, Stratton said.

The name and age of the driver, who was described as middle-aged, was not available. He refused medical treatment at the scene, he said. It's not known if any tickets were issued.

A Plainfield Building Department inspector reviewed the damage and determined that the stand-alone store remained structurally sound, Stratton said. No one else was injured in the accident.

Thankfully, it wasn't a Blues Brothers' wipeout.
