According to Southwick Chief of Police Kevin Bishop, a 93-year-old male was operating a vehicle in the parking lot of the local breakfast spot and lost his footing and drove the car into a railing that holds up the awning for the door to enter the establishment. Following that, the elderly male then put his vehicle in reverse and struck a parked car.

Although Bishop believes that the reason for the accident could be medically related, the operator nor anyone else was injured in the incident.

Despite the parts of the exterior of the building being pushed in and having some interior damage, there was no extensive damage from the accident.
