Second car in a week to crash into Easton CVS

Members of the Easton Volunteer Fire Department say for the second time in less than a week, a vehicle struck the side of a CVS Pharmacy on Ocean Gateway.

Authorities reportedly responded to the incident around 2:00 P.M. Monday. Investigators say, 48-year-old Lori Patchan, of Germantown, Maryland crashed her 2009 Lexus in the side of the store, when she hit the gas instead of the brakes.

Authorities say one patron was transported to Memorial Hospital at Easton with minor injuries and the driver of the car refused treatment.

According to the Easton Police Department, the Town of Easton building inspector has ruled the store unsafe and will be closed until further notice.

Patchan was cited for negligent driving.
