Driver, 90, damages wall of town of Manlius drug store

Manlius, NY -- A minivan crashed into the wall of a town of Manlius pharmacy this afternoon, damaging the building, but the 90-year-old driver was not injured, an Onondaga County sheriff’s deputy said. The Minoa Fire Department was called at 2:04 p.m. to the Kinney Drugs store, 7065 Manlius Center Road. There firefighters found the minivan with three wheels on the sidewalk in front of the store with its front passenger-side fender into the wall and a crushed brick base of a column on the driver’s side of the vehicle.

The male driver, who was not identified at the scene, declined being taken to a hospital, a deputy and firefighters said. The driver said he was parking the van when it lurched forward, the deputy said.

A store manager said the wall was buckled but said there was little damage inside the store.
