When you visit Costco, you go in search of bulk-buys and bargains – it has probably never crossed your mind that you could be mown down by a motorist crashing into the store’s entrance. This is exactly what happened to five unlucky shoppers at Oxnard Costco around 11.30am on Monday 19th March. According to reports from Oxnard and Ventura County Fire officials, the 86-year-old driver of a 1989 Buick Regal had a lapse in judgment when attempting to park, accidentally placing his car into reverse and accelerating.
Police have said that drugs and alcohol are not suspected of playing a role in the accident, which saw several people struck by the car. Two shoppers were taken to hospital for medical treatment, although none are believed to have been seriously injured.
The driver of the Buick was uninjured in the incident.
