California police arrest suspect in viral 7-Eleven takedown
Stockton business owner Louis Benton joined ‘Fox & Friends First’ to discuss his take on the 7-Eleven incident and his broader concerns surrounding surging crime.
An elderly woman in Los Angeles accidentally hit the gas instead of the brakes outside a car dealership on Wednesday morning, driving into the building and leaving one person dead.
Officials say the incident happened just after 9:10 a.m. at Hammer Toyota in the Missions Hills area of Los Angeles, according to FOX 11. The woman drove her car into the dealership’s customer reception area, officials said, adding that the driver accidentally hit the accelerator rather than the brakes.
A Los Angeles Fire Department official said a 56-year-old woman was briefly trapped under the car before she was freed by people nearby. The woman wasn’t breathing and had no pulse when a nurse began performing CPR, according to officials, who say she was dragged 20-feet by the car.
