Driver mistakes gas, brake pedals, crashes into McDonald’s in West Milton

Diners at a McDonald’s in West Milton were hit with shattered glass this evening after a driver struck a plate glass window at the restaurant.

The incident happened just before 6 p.m. at the fast-food restaurant, 127 N. Miami St.

The West Milton man in his 80s told police he was trying to hit his brake to avoid hitting a pedestrian he thought was in the way when he instead slammed on his gas pedal, West Milton police officer Mike Morgan said.

The driver was not injured and was cited for failure to control, Morgan said
