PEORIA, Ill. — Two people were hospitalized Thursday night after a car collided with another vehicle and part of a Peoria pharmacy.
Emergency crews were called around 7:15 p.m. to the CVS in the 6800 block of N. Pear Tree Lane, near War Memorial Drive.
Peoria Police said an elderly woman fell asleep at the wheel, her foot then hit the gas, propelling her vehicle into another car and a pillar outside the CVS.
“The driver of the striking vehicle was transported to a local hospital for evaluation. The occupant of the parked vehicle was also transported to a hospital with minor injuries,” Dotson said.
The crash remains under investigation by Peoria Police.
