St. Joseph woman hospitalized after parking lot crash

ST. JOSEPH- A St. Joseph woman was injured in an unusual parking log accident on Saturday afternoon.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol reported a 2003 Buick Park Avenue driven by Wilma N. Miller, 89, St. Joseph, entered the private parking lot of the probation and parole office on Faraon Street and attempted to park the vehicle.

The vehicle’s accelerator stuck which caused the vehicle to travel onto the sidewalk, strike a handicap sign and a flagpole and come to a stop. The driver backed the vehicle up striking another handicap sign, returned to the parking lot and struck a 1997 Ford F250 with its driver’s side door.

Miler was transported to Heartland Regional Medial Center for minor injuries.

The MSHP reported she was properly restrained at the time of the accident.
