A 75-year-old woman drove her car through the front of an Atlanta liquor store on Monday, causing 1,500 bottles of alcohol to shatter, police said. According to the incident report, Constance Chapman crashed her car into the front window of Green's package store at 737 Ponce de Leon Avenue around 3:15 p.m.
Chapman, who drives a white Mazda Miata, said her brakes went out while she was attempting to pull into a parking space in front of the store. She also told officers at the scene that this is the second time she has done this at Green's.
Jenetha Gardiner, who was working at Green's at the time of Monday's accident, was right behind the window during the collision, the report said. The car pinned her between the broken window and a shelf, and she experienced head trauma from a falling bottle of alcohol, according to the report.
Gardiner was transported to Atlanta Medical Center by Grady EMS, police said. Chapman was checked by Grady EMS as well, but said she would drive herself to the hospital, police said. Her Miata was removed from the window and towed.

Time for the authorities to separate her from her driver's licence. That time comes to everyone who lives long enough.
Oh, and who actually thinks there was something wrong with her breaks? Ha!

Go on then, give us a clue. How many breaks has she had?
As for the BRAKES on her car. Well that is another story...
Ha ha. You are welcome to become my proof reader. The position doesn't pay anything but I'm sure the sheer pedantic joy you would get from it would be enough.
That was my first thought. Her brakes are very likely just fine.
This is a case of operator error. Time to take away the license.
