A serious incident unfolded at Collinwood Drugs in Collinwood on Friday, resulting in considerable damage to the establishment, though fortunately, there were no injuries reported. As detailed by Wayne County News, the Collinwood Police Department confirmed that at approximately 3:23 PM on February 28th, a 74-year-old man from Wayne County accidentally drove his 2004 Chevy Colorado into the front of the pharmacy. At the time of the accident, the store was occupied by four employees and two customers.
Despite the alarming nature of the crash, all individuals present inside the pharmacy, including the driver, emerged without any physical harm, although they were understandably shaken by the event. In the aftermath of the collision, repair work on the damaged building commenced almost immediately, allowing the pharmacy to resume operations by Saturday. The Collinwood Police Department has opted not to disclose the identity of the driver involved in this unfortunate incident.
