There was an accident at the Shoprite in Absecon last night. A 30 year old woman was driving drunk and hit the store and 3 people.. 2 of which were in wheelchairs.

The link to the story above doesn’t have a lot of information but here is an excerpt from our local newspaper.

An allegedly drunken driver plowed into the entrance of the ShopRite supermarket Tuesday evening, hitting three people, including two in wheelchairs, police said.

Sharon M. Eberwine, 30, of Absecon, was driving west in the center lane of the parking lot at 6:15 p.m. when she drove onto the sidewalk, hit the building and several shopping carts, police said. The car then returned to the parking lot, spun around and came to rest on the sidewalk in front of the store entrance.

The car struck three people, two of them in wheelchairs, police said. All the victims were taken to the Regional Trauma Unit of AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center, City Campus. Their names and conditions were not available at press time.

The car came to rest at the entrance of the store, its front end pushed into a mailbox crushed by the impact. Two smashed wheelchairs lay nearby, shopping carts were overturned and potted plants were strewn about the area. A grocery bag with fresh fruit and bottles of iced tea and vitamin water was dropped next to the car, and the wind blew some of the bottles into the parking lot.

She was drunk! What did she do.. get all boozed up then decide “oh.. I need to go grocery shopping”? She just barely missed hitting another woman who’s grocery cart was demolished and she lost $100 worth of groceries. She ran back into the store to avoid being hit. The people in the wheelchairs were mentally handicapped people who were being taken shopping by their caretaker.
