An 86-year-old was accused of being behind the wheel as he allegedly crashed a white 1989 Buick Regal through the entrance and into the store, police said.

Six people were hurt, with two taken to the hospital. The injuries ranged from minor to moderate. 

Police said the driver stayed at the scene, saying he had mistakenly put his car into reverse while trying to park. While it's still being investigated, police believe it was likely an accident as drugs and alcohol were not a factor.
