The headline could’ve read “Five dead after car plows into Ohio gas station,” but thankfully an unidentified 56 year-old woman only destroyed the canopy over the pumps, according to WHIO.
The Cincinnati-area woman said she’d been eating french fries behind the wheel on Sunday when she began choking on one due to a “dry spot” in her throat, causing her to momentarily black out and lose control of her Buick, which then proceeded to hit the pylon of the canopy over the pumps in the Sunoco station on South Street in Wilmington. The canopy then partially scraped another vehicle but no one was injured. The woman was cited for failure to control the vehicle.
The establishment that sold her the excessively dry fries was not identified in the reporting.
