PIERCE COUNTY, WA — A woman was hospitalized Monday after a driver crashed into a storefront near South Hill Mall in south Puyallup, according to FOX13 Seattle.

Puyallup Police and crews from both Central Pierce Fire & Rescue and Station 72 responded to the scene at Melody Boba House off South Meridian Street. The incident was first reported by FOX13 at 11:30 a.m.

Fire crews told The News Tribune a driver in the parking lot had accidentally stepped on their gas pedal, causing their car to crash through the business and pin a customer to the counter.

Bystanders helped remove the victim from the wreckage before first responders arrived. The patient was then taken to a local hospital in stable condition.
