Can't stop for coffee in a rush! Out of control TOYOTA SIENNA minivan turns shop into a drive-thru

ByDaily Mail Reporter


A motorist gave new meaning to the word drive-thru when she crashed into a coffee shop.

Surveillance cameras caught the minivan as it barrelled through the doors and windows of Marylou's in Cohasset, Massachusetts.

Three workers behind the counter watched in shock as the out of control vehicle went past them before crashing into a soda machine and wall.

The drama at 7.15am last Friday left manager Alyson Robson thankful that no customers were in the shop at the time.

She said: 'At first when I saw it [the van] I just thought it was going to come up the curb, but then it just came crashing through the building.

The driver of the Toyota Sienna - one of the cars to be recalled by the car giant for defects - is seen on film dazed by the accident.

Joan Herrity, 42, from Weymouth, said her TOYOTA SIENNA minivan had a sudden surge of speed as she approached Marylou's.
She added: ''Thank God no one was hurt. I'm so happy they were behind the counter and they were safe. Still very upset, very in shock about the whole thing.'

Lt. William Quigley of Cohasset police said the car is now being examined and the driver won’t be charged. The shop has now reopened.
