A car crashed into a 7-Eleven store in Fairhaven, Massachusetts, Wednesday morning.

According to Fairhaven police, the crash happened at the 7-Eleven on Huttleston Avenue around 9:30 a.m.

The elderly driver mistook the brake for the gas, launching the car into the building.

There were no injuries, but the driver was taken to a hospital to be evaluated.
